QSN Sonoma County
Spring is here and so is the next QSN Sonoma County.
Our next event will benefit the North Bay Organizing Project (NBOP), a grassroots, multiracial, and multi-issue organization of twenty faith, labor, student, cultural and community-based organizations. They unite people, building leadership and power for social, economic, racial and environmental justice. They center people closest to the issues because those individuals can build innovative solutions to transform structures that promote human dignity. Their campaigns advance direct action that improves the material conditions of people’s lives. They have been building power to transform collective grief into community-driven action for over 15 years.
We’ll be announcing our participating chefs very soon!
