Cooper Team Visits Flowers & Bullets Farm
April 28, 2021
On April 28th, our team visited Flowers & Bullets at their Midtown Farm to learn more about their incredible work in Barrio Centro. They use sustainability and art to heal and empower the neighborhood they call home, and we're excited to work with them. We helped out with getting summer squash, tomato and pepper seeds ready for planting!
Who Are Flowers and Bullets?
From their website:
Flowers are the art and bullets are the struggle. We are organizers creating outlets for under-served youth and communities, which highlight the life we live and the places that we come from. By sharing skills, promoting place-based connections in the barrio, and listening to each other’s stories we promote sustainable ways of living. These ways of life address some of the traumas in our community, caused by disproportionate minority incarceration, drug addiction, physical and mental violence, food insecurity, health issues, and economic disparity.
