Social justice means fair and unbiased application of respect, dignity, equality, peace to all people in our society regardless of race, ethnicity, color, sex, class, gender or national origin. Eradicating all "isms" that discriminate and purposely exclude any individual from living in peace, health and equity in society.
Can you envision a community garden replacing that empty lot? Your idea could receive a micro-grant to seed your vision.
Urban Democracy FEAST Organizers are preparing for a virtual Spring FEAST. The March 20th 2021 event is the second virtual undertaking since the onset of COVID-19. Community members and grassroots organizations are encourage to submit an application for consideration to present a 5 minute presentation for a micro grant.
Updated electronic applications will be available soon along with information on how to register for the virtual FEAST.
Organizers of Urban Democracy FEAST cordially request your virtual attendance to engage and support presenters that are working on different parts of a Broken System.

Kalamazoo, MI- The UDF planning committee decided it was best to cancel the 28 March Feast event. We will be rescheduling this event to occur during the fall (November 2020). Given the CDC advice about cancelling gatherings of 10 people or more, and the closure of all restaurants in Michigan, we believe canceling the 28 March event is best.
We are working on a podcast to air close to the 28 March date, and an online event to discuss gaps in prevention, planning to deal with consequences of the virus, and other needs in the city. We will let you know how to link into these events. Visit www.urbandemoracyfeast.org for more information.
