Chicago Artist Z Saj Wins Austin Eats’ Verses & Vittles Lyrical Slam with Poem on Food Inequity

Chicago Artist Z Saj Wins Austin Eats’ Verses & Vittles Lyrical Slam with Poem on Food Inequity

In collaboration with One Earth Collective, the Austin Eats’ Verses & Vittles Lyrical Slam aimed to promote healthy eating and advance food justice in Chicago’s West Side neighborhoods. This year’s event featured a screening of They’re Trying to Kill Us, a documentary about the intentional inaccessibility to healthy food options in predominantly black and brown neighborhoods. The poetry slam was a chance for attendees to share their responses to themes in the film, as well as personal observations of food injustice and associated health crises in Chicago.

“Farming While Black”: Growing Food on Chicago’s West Side

“Farming While Black”: Growing Food on Chicago’s West Side

Located on Chicago’s West Side, the Austin community doesn’t have a lot of healthy food options. A group of 22 partner organizations, called Austin Eats, is trying to change that. One of the ways is through twice-yearly food education events led by One Earth Collective. This summer we helped lead Austin Eats’ food education team to plan and put on a “Movie At The Farm” event that welcomed at least 150 people.
