Gangstas to Growers (W/ Abiodun Henderson)

How do we practice the case for reparations? How do we do this land justice movement without being co-opted by the NPIC when people still gotta eat? When you bring Black young adults in to working on the land, how do you resolve conflict when you don’t call the cops? Abiodun Henderson, founder of Gangstas to Growers chops it up with Ilan and Khadijah about how G2G is grappling with these themes in real time.

Gangstas to Growers (G2G) is a social enterprise focused on building worker-owned cooperatives that provide opportunities for employment, empowerment, and entrepreneurship in agriculture for criminal injustice involved youth.
