Gangstas to Growers Gangstas to Growers is a program focused on empowering at-risk youth and our formerly incarcerated through agriculture, employment, and entrepreneurship.

"Gangstas to Growers” will provide paid entrepreneurial internships for at-risk youth, former gang members and formerly incarcerated individuals to give them a chance to participate in the legitimate economy.

We loved using this tool with our Diamond Hill Food Co-op Mission Circle! Let the games begin.

repost from National Black Food & Justice Alliance After nearly a year of dreaming, designing, testing, and piloting, our newest political education resource, Food is Political Bingo, is now available.

This offering emerged from the disappointment, grief, and rage that bubbled up among Black farmers and organizers in our network following the October 2025 SNAP halt, where food was once again used as a political weapon. As funding landscapes change, engagement from allies shifts, and semblances of care at local, state, and federal levels disappear, Black people and our communities will continue to hold each other.

Even better, we’ll continue to steward and defend land, grow food and community, and organize to build collective power. Food is Political Bingo is just one of many resources we can use to get there.

It’s a conversation starter. It helps our people define and identify patterns of food apartheid, reflect on the small actions we can all take to contribute towards food sovereignty, and gain resources to organize within our communities. While this is meant to simply open a door, we hope it contributes to our communities shifting their commitments, capital, and power to one another.

THEY REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AND G2G SO WELL!!

Trey and Ajohnta were educated by Charles Eco-PARADIGM as The Come Up Project Farm Program Manager. They have now been working with Eco-Paradigm for 4 YEARS!! We are sooo proud.

The video footage showcases the hard working men of Eco-Paradigm, most who have never been in our program AND are definitely part of this huge village we've joined. THANK YOU for allowing us to use the video!

West ATL Watershed Alliance stewards the land we were on and contracts Eco-PARADIGM to work the land. Our Environmental Responsibility educator AnaMarie Fort Negrita the Co-op is West ATL Watershed Alliance is their Education Program Director.

In the future, whenever we do press, we would like to be able to share more about all of our partners and the community we are part of. 11Alive News cut it out...its the way of this world and this society for us all to be individualist. AND They are given a limited amount of time to present stories.

At the same time, we are extremely grateful as we are in the midst of raising $2,237,000 for the next program. It cost $846,000 to pay 20 G2Gs for 10 months. The rest goes to 3 life changing experiences out of town, 8 full-time staff members, a part time therapist & case-manager, over 20 educators, commercial kitchen & program space The Multi-Use Radical People’s Hall, program materials and more. This doesn't include any health benefits for anyone including me, the Founder/ Lead Organizer.

In this 10th year, we are getting our ish tighter.

Thank you again 11Alive News!

*still don't got McDonald's money*

There are standards we need to recreate in our community that essential to our organizing.

It starts with healing and creating community agreements around how we respect the children, elders, mama earth, our ancestors, and god (whatever god means to you)
