Dear John,

We’re excited to present our final Story Snapshot that offers us a meditative glimpse into the natural rhythms of farming the land, harvesting, and eating together -- and how this way of being in itself is social movement.

Get a feel for how Soil Generation (SG) practices Agroecology with their comrades in Philadelphia. For over seven years SG has been a strong political advocate for urban agriculture, while also valuing Black and Brown leadership and building relationships with each other. Follow along as they grow food and dig deeper with one another (literally!)

This story snapshot is a sensory-rich short film that invites viewers to show up with SG and feel what it’s like to work alongside the community on the ground. Learn first-hand how important growing food is to people in Philadelphia!

To delve deeper, tune into episode 11 “Agroecology and Urban Farming in Philly with Soil Generation” of CJA’s podcast series Stories from Home: Living the Just Transition.

In this episode, Soil Generation’s Shania Morris and filmmaker Joshua Mallory describe the heart of Soil Generation, a collective of Black and brown urban farmers in Philadelphia and the unique richness and challenge of creating this snapshot amidst a global pandemic. Shania talks about how Just Transition is really a “just return” to our deep, fundamental, and intuitive relationship with land and community.

Check out Soil Generation’s Agroecology from the People Manual released this week, in celebration of the upcoming autumn equinox.

Across landscapes and languages, Story Snapshots express the often overlooked but critical climate justice work of everyday people as they paint future visions on the page, strengthen family roots, take back food systems and decolonize through art and culture. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed the journey. Stay tuned for our next podcast series releasing later this year which will feature climate justice leaders, communities and intergenerational solutions to the intersecting crises we continue to face. 

With gratitude,

Bineshi Albert, Monica Atkins and Marion Gee
