We Don't Want A F*cking Farm On Our Street

By Lisa Freeman

A Story of Self-Empowerment and Urban Farming" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that delves into the issues of discrimination, social justice, and urban farming. Through a combination of personal stories, historical analysis, and practical solutions, this book examines the impact of systemic racism on marginalized communities and how urban farming can be a tool for empowerment and change. From the devastating effects of redlining and government-led bridge development to the discriminatory practices of corporations, capitalists, and even the government, this book sheds light on the many ways in which discrimination affects the lives of minorities. But it doesn't stop there. Through the story of Lisa Freeman, an individual who overcomes discrimination to succeed against the odds, the book provides inspiration and guidance for readers looking to overcome their own obstacles.

With a focus on community empowerment, bridge-building, and the future of urban farming, this book is a call to action for readers to take steps toward promoting equity and social justice in their own communities. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the impact of discrimination and urban farming on society and the environment and how we can work together to create a more equitable and sustainable world.
