I learned about the Food Empowerment Project through a local non-profit organization in Portland, OR called the Let Live Foundation. I was fortunate enough to hear Food Empowerment Project founder, lauren Ornelas, speak on several occasions about food and social justice issues. She was incredibly inspiring, informative, and motivating. I learned a lot from lauren's talks and support the Food Empowerment Project however I can.
Everybody should have access to healthy, affordable food. Workers should be treated fairly and kindly. Animal exploitation on factory farms needs to stop. Our environment's natural resources should not be depleted. The Food Empowerment Project focuses on these essential issues while maintaing compassion for all beings.
