Friday night I joined a few dozen people at Solar, a soon-to-be plant-based cafe and community space in Five Points for a private screening of The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil. The restaurant's chef and owner, Faatma Mehrmanesh, featured on Free Speech TV's show The Activist Studio prepared an incredible dinner, Hillary brought a bunch of home-made mead, and the evening ended in a provocative visioning session where people talked about everything from planting sunflowers in public spaces, community self-determination and organization in black and brown neighborhoods and communities, to the libratory potential of home-grown medical solutions. It was a fabulous opportunity for folks to get together to look for ecologically sustainable solutions in an urban context! Next up, tearing up the asphalt and planting some food!
