Description

As we approach the November election for Mayor of San Jose, local communities working in the Food Access System, such as Urban Gardeners/Farmers, climate crisis advocates, urban planners, and water managers, are organizing a Mayoral Forum . In this forum the San Jose Mayoral candidates: Cindy Chavez and Matt Mahan will have the opportunity to share their Environmental agenda and hear from these communities. Some questions we hope to address are: How are they going to support an Ecological Sustainability and Climate Mitigation planWhat is their work plan to honor Food Sovereignty in San Jose?Will someone in the new administration’s team be advocating for these issues on the Food Policy Councils at City Hall?What is their position on policies in Urban Ag Zone Incentive programs to bring more community gardens or farms to San Jose?
