One of our youth interns, Janya, recently had an opinion piece published in @sahanjournal.bsky.social. Janya writes, "From providing youth jobs and access to fresh produce to donating more than 6,000 pounds of food to the community this year, Urban Roots has changed my life and many others."
Rather creating obstacles, Minneapolis officials should be doing everything they can to support a proposed urban farm and community center on the Roof Depot site, student Janya Dieringer writes.
