Session: Moving Through the Mess Together: How Food Coalitions Are Fumbling Forward Towards More Equitable Local Food Systems
LOCATION: W Breakout
Morgan balances head, heart, and hands in their work to create inclusive, engaging spaces for collaboration. They plan gatherings, organize logistics, and support projects. They do this by thinking strategically, learning from communities, telling stories, and authentically showing up as their true self. Grounded in emergent principles of anti-racism, trauma-informed practice, and consent, their work at the Civic Canopy seeks to honor difference and foster opportunities for people to come together to build a more nourishing reality. They bring experience in education, nonprofit operations, food justice, activism, and place-based engagement. Morgan’s contribution today reflects a long lineage of change-makers of the past, and their visions reach generations into the future.
