FOOD IS CENTRAL
TO THE CONSIDERATION
OF SOVEREIGNTY
Across the U.S. Territories women are leading ground-up action to reclaim their land and sustainably feed their people.
We’re bringing these women, the diasporas, and allies together in a history-making event!
#BeyondColonies
WHO WE ARE
These events & resources emerged out of an interest among colleagues from the U.S. Caribbean and Pacific territories in growing our collaboration and in response to interest from the “State of the U.S. Colonies” Panel from 2022.
These conversations highlight the challenges and possible solutions that arise from being a territory and/or colony of the United States.
