Jenna Pool '95 helped shoot a feature documentary *and* it is premiering this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival which is screening *online* this year.

"Brainwashed: Camera S*x Power" screens 1/22 and 1/24 with extended viewing windows and "uses film clips by A-list directors from the 1940s through to the present, to show how the visual grammar of cinema contributes to conditions that create discriminatory hiring practice, pay inequity and a pervasive environment of sexual harassment in the film industry and beyond.”

Jordan and Marina, both 2018 alums, and their new son Arlo have been impacted by the historic rains in southern Vermont. The farmhouse that they have been lovingly restoring is now uninhabitable after a landslide. and insurance does not cover the loss. There is a chance that they may be able to get some assistance but it will most likely not be enough to rebuild. If anyone is able to help this young family, it would be greatly appreciated. If you are not able to donate, please keep them in your thoughts. We want to show them love!

Hi, my name is Jen Keating and I, along with my husband Morgan, Heather Clar… Jennifer Keating needs your support for Help for Jordan, Marina and little Arlo

Now Hiring: Community Food Access Coordinator
Expanding Food Access Initiatives in the Northeast Kingdom

The Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) is seeking a team member to manage and expand our food access initiatives. This person will work with staff and community partners to enhance food security and food sovereignty in the Hardwick area and Northeast Kingdom. With the goal of strengthening community resilience, CAE is committed to addressing the persistent inequities in our food system, including the emergency created by the pandemic. CAE is in a unique position to continue advancing local food access and food sovereignty efforts through our grassroots community approach, our partnerships, and our substantial organizational, human, land, and facility resources. We are seeking a self-directed yet highly collaborative candidate to help us create a vision for how to best deploy these resources to address the emergent needs in our community.

A working definition of food sovereignty for CAE is everyone’s right to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. This includes the ability to grow one’s own food and define one’s own food systems.

This position is grant funded for one year with optimism that the role could become permanent after that.
