[Advocacy-outreach] Introduction & AUA-CCGA Collaboration

[Ren Encinas]

Hi CCGA Advocacy & Outreach Team,

I hope you all are staying cool and in good care! My name is Ren and I am
the Organizing Steward with the Advocates for Urban Agriculture. We have
been working on a new land justice campaign to connect, defend, and support
growers who are facing barriers to land and water access. My coworker,
Viviana, recommended I reach out to you all, as CCGA is a critical resource
and a powerful community of growers and advocates across the city. I would
love the opportunity to meet/connect with you all and see if there are ways
we can collaborate to survey and uplift issues impacting growers, build
deeper relationships across our food ecosystem, and/or organize towards
greater grower-led solutions.

If this sounds like something in alignment with y'all, please let me know
if there are any days/times in July that would work for any member(s) of
your team to meet. Hope to connect soon!

Warmly,

--
