Please describe any potential negative side <br />effects of the project and describe the steps you <br />are taking/will take to eliminate or minimize <br />these impacts to any low-income or marginalized <br />communities/households. <br />There are no negative side effects of this project. <br />9. Are the impacted residents already aware of the <br />potential positive and negative impacts of your <br />project and the steps you are taking? If not, <br />please describe your plan to engage with them <br />and how you will act based on their input. <br />There are no negative impacts to residents. <br />10. During and after the project, what will your <br />continued engagement with the impacted <br />community be? <br />This project will result in a sustainable location for <br />climate and social justice education for students in <br />our ongoing POEM program as well as members of <br />the community. This space will enable Jubilee Healing <br />Farm to continue to engage with members of the <br />community long after construction. <br />11. Please describe any other aspect of your project <br />that is relevant to Social Justice, Environmental <br />Justice and Racial Equity. <br />This project will support the social and racial justice work <br />already happening at Jubilee by creating a unique and <br />sustainable venue for learning as well as a unique process <br />for learning over the course of the construction and <br />creation. As the Black feminist academic bell hooks noted, <br />“Living in modern society, without a sense of history, it has <br />been easy for folks to forget that Black people were first <br />and foremost a people of the land, farmers. It is easy for <br />folks to forget that at the first part of the twentieth <br />century, the vast majority of Black folks in the United <br />States lived in the agrarian South. Living so close to nature, <br />Black folks were able to cultivate a spirit of wonder and <br />reverence for life.” Self-healing and peer support will be <br />enhanced by an approach that reconnects the mental <br />health of Black and Brown people with nature. A Cob <br />Outdoor Classroom and Food Forest will help Jubilee <br />continue to engage a diverse group interested in <br />workshops and events focused on Social, Racial, and <br />Environmental Justice. Led by a Black woman and a diverse <br />board of directors, Jubilee is positioned to live into these <br />values now and into the future. This Cob Classroom and <br />Food Forest project will accelerate the work already <br />happening at Jubilee. <br /> <br />Criterion 2 - Emissions Reduced <br />This criterion has a maximum score of 4 pts (out of a total of 26 pts). <br />Please see the Grant Project website for estimation tools and the Background and Information document for <br />information about technical assistance.
