ACTA NON VERBA

COMMUNITIES BUILDING POWER FOR HEALTH (CBPH) VIDEO SERIES

 
 

This video features Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project (ANV), an organization that elevates life in the inner-city by challenging oppressive dynamics and environments through urban farming. Founded and led mainly by women of color from the surrounding neighborhood and larger community, ANV creates a safe and creative outdoor space for children, youth, and families in East Oakland, CA. Within this severely economically depressed neighborhood in the nation’s second most dangerous city, ANV engages and deepens their understanding of nutrition, food production, and healthy living as well as strengthens their ties to the community.
