Imagining Freedom Culinary Tasting and Marketplace

  • 10 Sep 2020
  • 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Finally, a very different – and very fun – program will take place on September 10th from noon to 1pm. STAC has taken its annual event “Imagining Freedom” online! This fun and informative virtual event features a cooking demonstration by Chef Art Smith, a Jasper, Florida, native who will prepare food using only slavery and trafficking-free ingredients from local farmers and purveyors. He is a familiar face on the national food scene with restaurants in several major cities and his Homecomin’ restaurant in Disney Springs in Orlando. In addition to Chef Art, Imagining Freedom – Online! will include a celebration of the Red Hills Small Farm Alliance, which recently adopted a statement against trafficking. Log on at 11:15 a.m. for the preprogram featuring informative videos on human trafficking and to learn what you can do to be a “conscious consumer” and support businesses, farms, restaurants, and all who work to ensure that their products and supply chains do not include trafficked labor. This program is FREE and you must register. Here’s the registration link for more information: https://www.surviveandthriveadvocacy.org/imaginingfreedom/
