Macy was an activist, teacher, buddhist and elder. Her ‘work that reconnects’ speaks to these cycles of gratitude, honouring our pain for the world, seeing with new eyes through the grief and going forth into some kind of action.

I’ve been listening to Morgan Curtis on Transmuting Ancestries of Exploitation on the For the Wild podcast. In this episode, Morgan and Ayana ‘dive deep into the need for repair, healing, and acknowledgement as we face the historical roots of modern inequity.’ Morgan speaks about how she is going about this as a person who has inherited wealth from enslavement and who wants to redistribute that wealth in a reparative way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/25438d70-f70e-4d8b-8def-ce191ca3e4a5/unnamed+%284%29.jpg Blog - Lammas 2025 - Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.attheroot.org/blog/home-spacecoalition-space-in-reparative-work monthly 0.5 2025-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/6e7306f8-56aa-4586-8a19-995f6ca22c18/Screenshot+2025-01-30+at+10.45.08.png Blog - Home space/Coalition space in reparative work - Make it stand out Image: a photograph of the opening pages of Coalition Politics: Turning the Century https://www.attheroot.org/blog/ve3nf0x3s6ql9yeyquldkf43k3gqcz monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/e870fa67-9692-488a-bd2b-4f5ae4e70029/signal-2025-01-19-143917_002.jpg Blog - ORFC16 Roundup - PANEL: Ritual and relationship with the land “Not so many generations ago our farming communities would practise land-based rituals and ceremonies to ensure productive harvests and good relations between places, people and the powers of nature. These days we are left only with scattered fragments of what these might have been, when and why they were done. In this session we explore and remember some of the fragments of farming ritual that still available to us, looking at the consequences of abandoning them, and looking at the ways in which we might recover them for contemporary times” - ORFC Conference Guidebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/a1aed30a-022b-440f-8af9-d2f0e9ae849d/Screenshot+2025-01-17+at+14.24.59.jpg Blog - ORFC16 Roundup - WORKSHOP: Movement-wide strategy - Working together to change the food and land system “This movement strategy series…will bring together those working and organising in the movement for land and food justice in the UK, to explore how we can work better together to achieve the changes we want to see. We will explore what draws people to this movement and identify our common vision; explore what it might look like to have a movement-wide strategy.” - ORFC Conference Handbook In this interactive workshop, led by Ali Taherzadeh and Christabel Buchanan, participants were invited to think about social movements as ecology - where we have different roles and yet by collaborating together, working through conflict and power dynamics, we might transform the land and food system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/b1dc9bf6-b033-4f08-a078-962d454b49a4/seeding+reparations.jpg Blog - ORFC16 Roundup - WORKSHOP: Reparations - Learning from examples existing within modernity “Meaningful reparations are not simply about redistributing wealth within the same system but about dismantling that system entirely. They involve repairing the profound social and ecological harm caused by European colonialism and its aftermath, and co-creating systems rooted in justice, liberation, and care.” - ORFC Conference Handbook This session is drawing on conversations which have been slowing building momentum at ORFC on the subject of reparations, including a panel (pictured right) on land as reparations from ORFC 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/685c4d84-a79d-4a32-8187-23d207d7d411/35888265+%281%29.jpg Blog - ORFC16 Roundup - PANEL: Transforming Land Relations: The key to agroecological change “Land and property relations determine who lives where, who produces what, and who benefits from land use, with major ecological and social consequences. The food movement desires transformation - this requires deep change in land relations. But the way property is currently organised in the UK makes this extremely difficult. Private and corporate owners hold vast (and growing) amounts of power over land use; while many aspiring and existing agroecological farmers and urban consumers are united by their landlessness. This session explains why revolutionising land relations is necessary, and provides some ideas for ways forward.” - ORFC Conference Guidebook In this session, chaired by Bonnie VandeSteeg, Olivia Oldham-Dorrington, Alex Heffron and Elise Wach spoke to the damage done by private property ownership. I really valued Olivia’s sharing about some of the key features of private property, which she had taken from this book - The Colonial Lives of Property, by Brenna Bhandar. The features she shared were: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/98f33bd8-8f94-470e-8e9f-df18cc856d17/Screenshot+2025-01-17+at+15.15.06.png Blog - ORFC16 Roundup - PANEL: What does an anti-fascist farming movement look like? “The recent wave of farming protests that have swept parts of Europe have shown clearly how the discontents of a segment of farmers are increasingly expressed within a reactionary, right-wing rhetoric. At the same time, both white supremacist violence against migrant, racialised, and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and state repression against popular protest, dissent and solidarity are escalating. How can those of us who want to develop an alternative to the imperialist, exploitative food system ensure that our movements remain clearly aligned against reactionary, nationalist and eco-fascist tendencies? What does a progressive, left-wing, explicitly anti-fascist farming politics look like?” - ORFC Conference Handbook In this panel, chaired by Sophia Doyle, Alex Heffron, Tom Wakeford and Sagari R Ramdas the roots of fascism in the organic movement were shared - drawing on a recent pamphlet published by Seeding Reparations called Organicism and Fascism in the UK. The links between Brexit, austerity and the populist speech of the far-right were made - 75% of farmers voted for the Tories or Reform in the last UK election. https://www.attheroot.org/blog/w2aw2pw7o6j9w2rdlaosky6kxxr2w9 monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/643e688ef5d2e71cb9665414/7d390e09-dee4-4c4c-80d3-ad280a1bd16a/Immigrants-at-Ellis-Island.jpg Blog - Working with the ancestors - Make it stand out A Romanian piper, a Slovak mother and son, an Italian woman.
