“…Their work draws on multiple lineages of mutual aid, cooperation, and “collective” and “community self‐determination built through legacies of struggles” (Glowa 2017:243; Gordon Nembhard 2014; Penniman 2018; Reese 2019; West and Gordon Nembhard 2020; White 2018; Whyte 2019; Zitcer 2017). They build on decades of intersectional activism and coalition‐building including food and farmworker organising (Cruz 2016; Lo and Jacobson 2011) and mobilisation of Black feminist theory and women of colour leadership within food and food policy spheres fighting to dismantle “interlocking systems of white supremacy and patriarchy” (McCutcheon 2019:213; Ammons 2014; Jones 2019a, 2019b; Witnesses to Hunger nd).…”

Critical food scholarship and BIPOC‐led food activism are demanding government responsibility for developing equitable food systems, while contending with the failure of government to affirm Black and Brown lives. Heeding Black feminist calls for complex geographies, I trace the racial entanglements of food apartheid in daily life in Dubuque, Iowa, USA as they intersect with Growing Together, a community donation gardening program developed through federal nutrition education and state Cooperative Extension programs. Analysing interview data, I examine Growing Together’s lack of accountability for food apartheid in Dubuque, and I focus on radical strategies to disrupt racialised, taken for granted notions of city neighbourhoods as “with” and “without” food, knowledge, skills, or community character. Complex geographies reveal paths to reconfigure Growing Together around mutual interdependency and support of Black‐ and Brown‐led collective struggles against a racist state, paths that ultimately demand the deep governmental transformations called for within racial justice movements.

Globally, farmworkers are among the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. Longstanding social and spatial inequalities allowed COVID-19 to spread unchecked, propelling a surge in farmworker activism, while the state uses the crisis to rollback worker protections. The politics of this moment are rooted in racialized labor regimes characterized by "imported colonialism". We use the case of Florida, where farmworker movements have for decades organized for health and justice, to contribute to the global debate on COVID-19, and to show how a deep history of the present can illuminate opportunities and challenges for organizing.
