    Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room

    Sedona AZ (January 5, 2012) – Across the country, communities are returning to their gardens for fresh healthy foods and more reliable alternatives to unsustainable, long-distance food supplies. In Sedona and the Verde Valley, people are doing the same, as local gardens and farmers markets return to the area.

    As an inspiration, local groups are screening Good Food on Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room. In addition to the film, there will be an open dialogue about local food security and the possibility of a community garden in West Sedona.

    Good Food takes an intimate look at how people living in the Pacific Northwest have come together to create a more sustainable food system for their communities. The film and public conversation are sponsored by the local Sierra Club, Gardens for Humanity, the Verde Food Council and Sustainable Arizona. It is free and open to the public.

    Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet, said, “It is a film made to awaken our taste buds and our courage, to create a food system aligned with what the earth needs and what our bodies yearn for. Good Food shows us it’s possible. It’s happening!”

    Everywhere, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms.

    For well over 1000 years, native peoples and settlers have raised abundant crops of grain, fruit, vegetables and medicinal herbs in the fertile Verde River Valley. “It’s only been in the past sixty years that much of our food comes from thousands of miles away, an unsustainable situation,” explained Richard Sidy, director of Gardens for Humanity. “As in the film, our goal is to help develop relationships and resources so the Verde Valley will become more self-sustaining, once again.”

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
