Radical Agroecology Dinner & Discussion (RADD) started out as a monthly political education space for land stewards. The space came out of a shared observation between its founders: that land stewards need a shared political analysis to ground our work, and that political organizers could benefit from including a land ethic in their efforts.
Following the tradition of Grace Lee Boggs, who underlined the importance of collective study in building political power, RADD sought out to do the same. We were so surprised when about 100 people showed up to our first session! It was clear that the gaps we felt were widely perceived beyond our own experiences. Now farmers, government employees, advocates, organizers, philanthropists, teachers, environmental scientists, and more, gather together monthly for these critical conversations centered on how our land work is inherently political work, and how to build out movements from this place.
What started as a monthly political education space has expanded to so many partnerships, projects, and campaigns. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and are excited to keep moving forward.
