DoomsdaysCWConsider planting an extra row for the hungry in your garden this springIf you’re going to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra for your local soup kitchen or pantry?By JESSICA DAMIANO, March 18, 2025"If you’re gearing up to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra to donate to your local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoupKitchen</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodPantry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodPantry</a>?"The national <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlantARowForTheHungry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PlantARowForTheHungry</a> campaign, launched in 1995, has been encouraging home and community gardeners to do just that every year to help feed neighbors in need of fresh food."The program was spearheaded in 1995 by Anchorage Daily News garden columnist Jeff Lowenfels, who wrote a column encouraging his readers to plant extra crops and donate their harvests."After seeing the impact that his column had on local food donations, Lowenfels partnered with GardenComm International, then known as Garden Writers of America, to enlist garden columnists all over the country to promote the cause in their own communities. Since then, more than 20 million pounds of produce, providing more than 80 million meals, have been donated through the campaign by home gardeners."'All of this has been achieved without government subsidy or bureaucratic red tape — just people helping people,' according to organizers on the campaign’s website. And there’s no big advertising campaign, either — just garden columnists and their readers spreading the word."Read more: <a href="https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/03/18/gardening-for-the-hungry/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/03/18/gardening-for-the-hungry/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodInsecurity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodSecurity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityGardens</a>

"The 'Dump Trump' rally was organized by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElizabethLeonard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElizabethLeonard</a>, an author, historian, and professor emeritus of history at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColbyCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColbyCollege</a>, who on Feb. 5 led a rally at a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> charging station less than a mile away. "News of that protest went viral, prompting dozens of similar protests across the country at Telsa dealerships and charging stations. A Morning Sentinel story about that rally was featured on at least one national television show and in the Boston Globe as part of a subsequent interview with Leonard. "She said she never thought the Tesla event would have such an impact. 'It’s just proof of the fact that a small group of people can make a huge difference, or you could say, where a butterfly flaps its wings, a breeze goes around the world,' Leonard, 68, said. 'We didn’t expect so many people to pay attention.' "It was a chilly 29 degrees on Main Street Thursday as motorists beeped their horns in support of the protesters. Someone in a white car yelled 'Go home!' to the group. "Some protesters held trash bags with signs attached that read 'Dump Trump.' Leonard said she agrees with scholars who say the world is re-living history as it witnesses <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascists</a> rise to power and destroy <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/democratic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#democratic</a> governments. "'This is all how it happens,' she said."[...]"Linda Woods, 73, and Beth Schiller, 68, both of Waterville, protested at the Tesla charging station rally Feb. 5 and were on the street again Thursday. They praised Leonard for starting the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TeslaProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TeslaProtest</a>, which was widely mimicked. "'I’m just sad that we have to do this,' Woods said. 'I’m tired of standing in the cold.'"Schiller said she is horrified that people have been <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brainwashed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#brainwashed</a> into believing the government is 'bad.'"'They’re going to miss all the good things that government does for all of us when it’s been burned to the ground from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Project2025</a>,' she said, referring to a conservative plan for restructuring government."Leonard said she is trying to contact <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FederalWorkers</a> in Maine who have been fired from jobs in areas such as the Transportation Safety Administration, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Social Security Administration to bring them together and let them talk and know they are supported.

As I prepare to leave for Atlanta, where we have a major event coming up, I reflect on the significance of raising awareness and funds for Palestine. It’s hard to believe how often we crisscross the country for this cause, but it’s always worth it—it’s a calling. This work, though increasingly difficult, is fueled by the resilience of our people and the steadfast support from allies who have faced these conditions for more than 75 years. You, too, are a part of this marathon for justice, not a sprint, and for that, I thank you."Currently, I haven’t been able to reach my family for five days. The Israeli military is conducting a heavy campaign in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NorthGaza</a>, not far from where my parents live. The constant sound of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bombs</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drones</a>, and explosions has become their grim reality. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hospitals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hospitals</a> are under siege, and patients, particularly infants in incubators, are left behind. This is the third military campaign in North Gaza in less than a year, and it’s clear that these actions are part of a calculated effort to depopulate the region. But make no mistake—my family and neighbors have no intention of leaving. "Even amid these horrific circumstances, they choose to stay, preferring to face whatever comes with dignity in their own community."In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SouthGaza</a>, prices for basic necessities have tripled, and our kitchen in Al Zawaydah is stretched to its limits. Today, we prepared Romanya, a beloved dish with tahini, eggplant, and bits of meat. Though our budget has doubled, and pots are hard to come by, we pledge to serve more people as long as we can secure the resources."Our water deliveries continue—five trucks daily across North Gaza, Khan Younes, and the middle region. These deliveries are lifesaving for tens of thousands of families. In Khan Younes, we brighten the days of displaced children by handing out breakfast pastries and running our classroom, where Ms. Fatma teaches English and serves snacks to eager students. We’ve also distributed olive pickling kits as part of the harvest tradition, keeping hope alive in the face of overwhelming hardship."In North Gaza, we’ve had to close both the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#school</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoupKitchen</a> for safety reasons. However, our clinic remains open, treating 30–50 people daily, especially with Kamal Adwan Hospital under siege. My brother Mohamed continues relief efforts in Al Sheikh Radwan, delivering water, bread, and ready-to-eat meals to schools turned shelters. He’s supported by his children, Anas, Hany, and Mai, ensuring we help as many as possible despite the dangerous conditions."<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Starvation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaFundraisers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePalestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestinians</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CeasefireNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Starvation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoFundMe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelHumanRightsViolations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelHumanRightsViolations</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopArmingIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopArmingIsrael</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarBibi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WorldWarBibi</a>
