Description

We are nearing a major milestone in Oregon's Farmworker Movement--we are on a path to return to the land with our ancestral wealth through the development of the Anahuac Farm & Cultural Center. I invite you to join us for an in-person House Party to support this iconic undertaking, hosted by Abigail Singer of Rogue Farm Corps and Ashley Rood from Oregon Climate & Agriculture Network, on Friday, June 24 from 6:00 PM-9:00 PM at 3623 SE 76th Ave Portland, OR 97206 Capaces Leadership Institute and the Oregon Farmworker Movement are in a very exciting time of expanding our Anahuac program to its own Anahuac Farm & Cultural Center located in our beautiful Mid-Willamette Valley on 60 acres of certified-organic land in Turner, OR. Anahuac is a community centered program that offers traditional education in agriculture, culinary and cultural arts, wellness and Indigenous languages. Our work aims to empower our Indigenous communities of America, in the dominant culture known as farmworkers, whose labor has been exploited throughout the food system. We are here to sow seeds of sovereignty with organic cultivation of our milpa (corn, squash and beans) and rescue our relationships with our traditional plants and herbs. Join us to learn about the Anahuac Farm & Cultural Center and how you can support this dream to become a reality for our Indigenous Communities of America!
