A Discussion on where Urban Agriculture is today and where it can go in the Future.

Are you sick of watching the planet be toxified, wild areas destroyed,
and billionaires getting even richer as a result? Want to do something
about it? Big green NGOs are one avenue, but you may also be sick of
investing time, energy, and hope into "campaigns" that end in
compromise, political brokering, and diplomacy with the very assholes
you set out to stop in the first place. "Direct Action for the Wild"
will present you, dear human, with a few alternatives. We will discuss

The Radical Mycology Mushroom Talk with focus on fungi that are edible. Going into mycorrhizal forming fungi, poisonous fungi, and their various uses. Whether this be edible or medicinal. 

Robert Kelly is a mycologist and plant lover. With years of knowledge and years of learning about local Sarasota plant and fungi.

The Sarasota Solidarity Network is a volunteer network of working people who defend their
rights through collective action and mutual support. This event will be an open discussion about
the SSN and their work to fight against abuses against working people in Sarasota.

This participatory workshop will explore methods of city planning from the bottom up. Using a framework developed in Detroit, the workshop will help participants find new ways to narrate the built environment of towns and cities and set proactive frameworks in which the government is a respondent to grassroots action and power rather than the initiator of city plans. Blank paper and a straightedge or the electronic equivalents thereof will be useful but not necessary for the exercises.
