Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen

Welcome to Breaking Bread, Farm Aid’s popular education Lunch and Listen series. The Highlander Center defines “popular education” as an opportunity to learn from each other’s shared lived experiences to build collective knowledge.

Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen features stories that uplift the shared history of food and farming; organizing and resistance that’s got us to where we are now. We pair that history with work that folks are doing presently, that will inform the future we want for each other as it relates to farming and agriculture, food, culture and rural communities. This storytelling and making our narratives public is a key and critical part of community organizing. Please join us!

Breaking Bread is back for a second helping! Join us for the next session in the series on Thursday, March 26, at 12:30pm EST with Francesca Polletta. She is Chancellor’s Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine and studies politics, protest, and culture, asking how and when politically disadvantaged groups have mobilized meanings to make change. She is currently working on a book about how second-wave feminism changed Americans’ beliefs about women, work, and family by way of popular culture.
