HELP SUPPORT BLACK WOMAN GAIN ECONOMIC AUTONOMY

Join Us in supporting black woman

We are raising funds to support two Black women who were recently fired from their jobs at a “food justice” organization due to anti-Black racism. These women have been on the frontlines of community work and food justice for decades, ensuring that their communities and families have access to food security. We are calling on people to support these women and their families during this time by helping them secure agricultural land, equipment and tools to ensure they can provide for their communities.

The time is now

In the United States Black farmers have lost 90% of their agricultural land due to systemic anti-Black racism. The statists are no different in Canada. The vast majority of Black settlements across the country have been violently destroyed, or are severely threatened. Black neighbourhoods continue to be violently gentrified. Since the first slave ships arrived in the so-called Americas, Black people have been robbed of their ability to self-determine.
 

Currently Black households are more than 3 times more likely to be food insecure than white households. 36.6% of Black children live in food insecure households compared to 12.4% of white children.

Warrior queen t-shirt series

We are excited to announce the next step in our fundraising efforts. The Warrior Queen T-Shirt Series is a limited-edition series honoring the legacies of four trailblazing warriors that represent freedom, the resilience of African Indigenous women and dedication to the land. All proceeds from the series will go directly towards the Black Woman Agricultural Freedom Fund. 

 

We are humbled by the support we have received and would like to offer back to those who are willing to invest in this project and the future of Black food sovereignty.

 

We are sharing a CODE for the creators of BLACK CULTURE. The growers, the land defenders, the water observers, the cultivators, the seed savers, the over policed, the brilliance behind BLACK CURRENCY. 

 

This code is also available to non-Black people who have supported the BWAFF and who see black economic autonomy as a space to support BECAUSE BLACK FREEDOM CANNOT WAIT. 

 

Please use the CODE: blkculture at the check out. This is developed on an honour system, please share and use the code only if it applies to you.
