Speakers (so far) include:

Van, Qilombo Oakland
Sita Bhaumik (and others), The People's Kitchen Collective
Doria Robinson, Urban Tilth
Jocelyn Golden, Manna from Heaven
Aunti Frances, Self-Help Hunger Program

We will break bread together and celebrate with live music, dancing and fresh and organic fruits and veggies from the market.
