It’s our 4th consecutive day of 100°+ weather in Portland. We’re watering twice a day at Going Home Co-op project. Only about half of our 4,500 square foot urban farm has irrigation, the rest we hand water for about an hour a day.#merpmerp #municipalecoresiliencyproject #farmingforrevolution #communityautonomy #foodjustice #collectivework
PNW People Over Profit Chant Team rallies the crowd on the march from Cal Anderson Park to the Seattle Convention Center
Public chanting outside of the brand new (taxpayer funded) Seattle Convention Center, which opened up just in time to hold this ministerial leaders conference for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC). Executives watching, waving, & laughing from their green rooftop above.
Come join us and volunteer at Rainbow Ranch!
Yesterday at Going Home co-op project we harvested pink amaranth greens, which are a delicious source of nutrients including iron and magnesium. Then we transplanted luffa and Japanese kabocha, and checked on our brussel sprouts which need some major aphid control😯🪲#merpmerp #municipalecoresiliencyproject
