How can this be possible when wages are rising only 1-3% per year, but rent is often increasing 30, 40, or 50% each year?The struggles to keep our neighbors fed and keep our neighbors housed are intimately connected.Join representatives from Riquezas del Campo, Underline Farm, and local tenant organizing for a panel discussion on the connections between land access, housing justice, and food sovereignty.This campaign teaches us how people facing land, housing, or food insecurity can build toward community control over their own resources, and how homeowners and resourced community members can support those efforts to build a more just society for all. It also asks us to consider how we disrupt the cycle of land theft and colonization through our current policies, and acknowledges that we all exist on stolen Indigenous land.This conversation will be facilitated by Springfield No One Leaves and Grow Food Northampton with time for Q&A at the end. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/northampton/this-is-home-connecting-land-housing-and-food-justice-in-western-mass/100001992369233009 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Northampton - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Grow Food Northampton Organic Community Garden - **lat**: 42.3336587 - **long**: -72.6807614 - **full address**: Grow Food Northampton Organic Community Garden, 140 Meadow Street, Northampton, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: This is Home: Connecting Land, Housing, and Food Justice in Western Mass - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/90cc23868c80791fbe8e3807cbe65096202e273913733ffb2e2b2a9763858a18-rimg-w1200-h1553-dcd9734d-gmir.jpg?v=1782396613 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is This is Home: Connecting Land, Housing, and Food Justice in Western Mass being held? - **A:** This is Home: Connecting Land, Housing, and Food Justice in Western Mass takes place on Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Grow Food Northampton Organic Community Garden, 140 Meadow Street, Northampton, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing This is Home: Connecting Land, Housing, and Food Justice in Western Mass? - **A:** This is Home: Connecting Land, Housing, and Food Justice in Western Mass is organized by Grow Food Northampton. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
