SUMMARY:Cooking with Koshiki: Agedashi Tofu & Maze Gohan (Virtual class)

SUMMARY:Seward Co-op 2021 Annual Owner Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, October 26 via Zoom from 6:30-8 p.m. for the Annual Co-op Owner Meeting. As we begin a year of celebrating our 50th anniversary as a co-op\, we’ll reflect on who we are as part of a broader cooperative movement working for justice and the abolition of oppressive systems.\n \nRegistration for our Annual Owner Meeting is now closed\, but you can use the link below to access the Zoom webinar at 6:30pm: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86202762926  \nIf you would prefer to listen to the webinar over phone\, you can do so by calling (312) 626-6799 / Webinar ID: 862 0276 2926. \nOur 2020 meeting featured a dynamic panel of artists and activists; and as a co-op we expressed our shared intention to articulate a vision of community that is free from white supremacy. Through conversation\, song\, and movement\, the panel centered on the co-op’s role in the movement for racial justice and liberation in our communities—a movement that holds parallel values of abolition with cooperative history and principles. Minutes from last year’s annual meeting are here. View this year’s agenda here.  \nCelebrating 50 Years: Seward Co-op within the Broader Movement for Abolition and Liberation\nThis year’s meeting will feature Jessica Gordon Nembhard\, Professor of Community Justice and Social Economic Development in the Department of Africana Studies at John Jay College\, City University of New York and author of Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice. Jessica will join Seward Co-op owners\, BOD members and local co-op innovators in conversation about how co-ops can be a manifestation of abolition.  \nThe event will kick-off a year of exploring our own evolution as a co-op over the past 50 years—and who we want to be 50 years in the future. \nThis event was originally shared in our eNews and Sprout! starting at 6 PM\, and has been updated to reflect the updated time.

Her passion is building stronger and healthier Native American communities. She grew up in the Twin Cities area and brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit management and administration at organizations such as Native Americans in Philanthropy\, MN Urban Area Health Education Center with University of Minnesota Physicians\, East Side Neighborhood Services\, and most recently\, the American Indian Cancer Foundation. Neely holds a Bachelor’s degree in Media Business from the Minnesota School of Business. She and her husband raised three children in Blaine\, a northern suburb of Minneapolis. Her volunteer activities include serving on the Board of Directors at The Family Partnership and the Spring Lake Park School District’s American Indian Parent Advisory Committee. \n \nVanessa Casillas is a citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a bricklayer by trade. When she moved to Minneapolis from Chicago in February 2020\, her passion for food sovereignty led her to work with her hands in a different way: baking using Indigenous ingredients. Through her work expanding on the internship curriculum at a culinary training program in the local Native community\, she was able to highlight land-based learning practices like growing ancestral foods from seed and connecting with community partnerships to facilitate plant ID and foraging walks. \nThe event series “Co-op Community Conversations: Exploring the intersection of racial\, social\, and food justice” is presented by Eastside Food Co-op\, Mississippi Market Food Co-op\, Seward Community Co-op\, and Twin Cities Co-op Partners as a way to examine and connect our cooperative values with social justice movements.
