Turnip Dem' Beets!

It is great to see so many people in the streets from the teachers, to the unions, to the activist and Anarchists young and old. Gardens are sprouting up in public plazas and parks at the numerous Occupy Sites (including Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland) and food is being shared freely. 

As much of the country prepares to celebrate Columbus Day as "discovery" and commemorate the conquest as "progress," Phat Beets Produce and the North Oakland Farmers' Market invite the community to be a part of an alternative space to honor more than 500 years of cultural, spiritual and political resistance led by the world's indigenous peoples. 

From our friends at the East Bay Arts Collective:

Phat Beets Produce spent the summer pounding the pavement, telling neighbors about our programs and inviting them to join our Community Committees to help shape the future of local food access.
