For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling. To donate, please specify "Tomol Project" in the message box on the donation page: https://www.tataviam.land/donation/

Moderated by Gretchen Kafoury (former city commissioner and Portland State University faculty), the panel featured three key community leaders. Erik Sten, City Commissioner, discussed the city's program. Genevieve Nelson, co-founder of Sisters of The Road, shared insights from a survey of 400 homeless individuals. Lisa Schroeder, a business owner and co-chair of the Downtown Retail Council, provided the downtown business perspective.

Many global projects claiming climate change adaptation often raise human rights concerns and carry significant carbon and ecological footprints. A truly effective approach requires breaking with past assumptions, moving beyond systems that exacerbated the crisis, and addressing worsening scenarios and psychological impacts.

We must support those restoring our planet's natural balance, such as Dr. Stella Nyambura Mbau, who champions regenerative agroforestry. Dr. Lisa Schipper, who coined "maladaptation" to describe inadequate climate responses, highlights vulnerabilities and barriers in developing countries.

August 2020

Will COVID-19 change our food system for good? Increased coronavirus outbreaks in food markets, food plants, and farmworker communities have impacted food access and put a spotlight on food insecurity. Farmers are hurting as supply chains for fresh, perishable foods shrivel. Meanwhile, food banks have seen a surge in demand that has required distribution support from the National Guard.

What does COVID-19 mean for agriculture, our food supply systems — and our diets? Join us for a conversation with Lisa Held, senior reporter at Civil Eats and Karen Ross, secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, on feeding a nation under quarantine.
