Mike will share and discuss a film created by young people from Hyde Square Task Force titled Planting For Peace (P4P).   

Planting For Peace: Bury Seeds, Not Bodies
Planting for Peace (P4P) is not your typical film about gardening. This film takes a close look at the youth workers who are powering an exciting movement to revolutionize urban food systems. As new farmers markets, urban farms and community gardens sprout in urban communities of color few have focused on the young people working the markets and gardens. These new jobs not only help bring healthy, locally grown food to otherwise food deserted areas but they also develop young leaders by giving them meaningful work. P4P connects the anti-violence movement to the new opportunities in the urban green movementshowing how closely related they really are. Topics include, food justice, food deserts, guerilla gardening, victory gardens and the Boston Bounty Bucks program that doubles the value of food stamps at farmer's markets.
