Cannabis Legalization as a Pathway to Justice with New Approach PAC

Even if you call yourself a system catalyst or aspire to be one, the political system can feel out of reach.

Cooking Homemade Solutions with FoodCorps

When you are born with privilege, there’s a depth of cultural understanding that you can only gain from people who live the issue you’re trying to solve. When Curt Ellis co-founded FoodCorps almost 15 years ago, he quickly realized that only parachuting AmeriCorp members to underserved communities wasn’t quite right. Today, FoodCorps recruits a majority of people within the communities they serve. In this episode, Curt and FoodCorps President Dr. Harvey tell us how this approach is getting them closer to an ambitious goal: to provide every child in the U.S. with access to food education and nourishing food. Featuring Curt Ellis, Co-founder and CEO, FoodCorps and Dr. Robert S. Harvey President, FoodCorps.
