In Prison Cooperative Development
The R2H strategy meets the crisis of food justice head on, within the prison system and elsewhere, with an array of compassionate, politically-movable, and cost effective programs. With a particular focus on cooperative development and Solidarity Economics, Earth Equity strives to position all R2H programs and policies to aid communities that are most in need of healing, sustenance, and empowerment.
Food Pharmacies
We are dedicated to creating lasting change for incarcerated people suffering from diet- related illness. Always engaged in advocacy in legislative circles, and elsewhere, we discuss our proposal to establish a pilot program in California state prisons that will investigate the medical, psychiatric, and budgetary outcomes associated with the wellness delivery model known as a "food pharmacy".
Reentry Support and Ocean Care
Did you know that Northern California lost 95% of its kelp forests in the last 8 years? SeaForester is a reentry support program which connects system-impacted people to kelp restoration through Critical Environmental Justice education, community organizing, and meaningful work initiatives. Follow SeaForester's work as we create California's first Reentry Support and Ocean Care cooperative.
