About the Book
Beautiful and thought provoking, this book captures the people and concerns of one urban neighborhood where Food Justice is key. The authors are both frustrated and inspired by their surroundings. Their work reflects both the challenges and the spirit of change that is historic West Oakland, California.



The images and text were created out of a series of Saturday workshops held at City Slicker Farms through a partnership with Rock Paper Scissors Collective and Community Bridge Video.



This project is supported by the Oakland City Council and funded by the City of Oakland's Cultural Funding Program.



Additional Funding was provided by the San Francisco Foundation.
