yay! Callista!

As someone who has also spent a lot of time working with the summer of solutions in st. paul and living in a cramped (cozy?) house with eight amazing people, right next door to Ashley and Callista’s apartment, i can testify to the wonderful and visionary energy and passion that students are bringing to their work here. And everywhere! I’m so inspired by the ways students here have welcomed hard discussions – confronting our white privilige, challenging traditional power structures, and talking about ways to build a community that is accessible and open – and have worked hard to integrate these conversations into the work we’re doing with ARISE, Cooperative Energy Future, and other individual projects (two of us are conducting research this summer on food security and urban food communities). We try hard not to separate life and work – trying to make ‘the movement’ not only a vast network of incredible activists, but a way of life.

Also all of you should purchase the Stomach of Solutions cookbook when Jason and i finish writing it.
