Events, Read

On Monday, Oct. 9, ecoFEST took center stage at One Art Community Center in West Philadelphia to highlight the power of both small actions and grand ideas in the fight against environmental issues and the persistent challenge of environmental racism. By blending insightful discussions with engaging activities and artistic expressions, the event left attendees inspired and equipped to make a positive impact on the environment — whether through small daily choices or larger community actions.

Christa Barfield, CEO and founder of FarmerJawn Agriculture joined ecoWURD Magazine host POC for a keynote conversation where the two discussed Barfield’s business journey and how to create a greener future for Philadelphia. 

Watch the conversation:

POC led a panel discussion “A Promised Tomorrow: Nature as a Safe Haven from Violence” with Bria George, chief operations officer of I Love Thy Hood; Pili X co-founder of North Philly Peace Park; and Hakeem Devore founder of Inner City Peace Foundation.

Watch the conversation:

Plant and People leads “Plant Care 101,” a workshop that taught attendees everything they needed to know about properly caring for their houseplants.

Panelists and former fellows from the Alliance for Watershed Education Gere Johnson, Abdullah Ibn Abdul-kareem Idris and Nagiarry Porcena-Meneus pose for a picture with POC after their panel discussion “Voices of the Future.” The conversation highlighted the work that the Alliance for Watershed Education does and how the panelists utilized the program to create change and to inform their own environmental justice work.

Watch the conversation:

DecolonizePhilly led a workshop on how we create a land revolution in our city. Organized by Keyssh Datts, several community leaders and activist organizations came together to discuss land reform in Philadelphia and what justice looks like for our communities.

Ashanti Martin, General Manager of WURD Radio, speaks with Tonya Pendleton about ecoFEST and WURD Radio’s environmental justice work.

Tallboy performs a DJ set to close out ecoFEST.
