5:30pm - AWARD CEREMONY @ Crystal Room at the Leopold, 1224 Cornwall Ave. Bellingham

Black Mesa Water Coalition will be honored for their commitment in restoring indigenous food sovereignty and elevating youth leaders among Hopi and Navajo communities. In the international category, Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica de Puerto Rico will be recognized for their mobilization of Food Sovereignty Brigades to assist farmers with agroecological recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

The USFSA is an alliance of organizers, scholars, and working families dedicated to food justice and food sovereignty in the US. The Prize - an alternative to the corporate, Big Ag-sponsored World Food Prize - honors recipients who demonstrate how another world is possible and that solutions come from those most impacted by political, social, and environmental problems.
