YMCA FARM PROJECT



845.338-3810 | Ymcaulster.org | Kingstongardenbeds@gmail.com

 


MISSION | The Kingston YMCA Farm Project’s mission is to educate, nourish and connect the Kingston community with our urban farm.

 

VISION | Our vision is to use the farm as a way to engage young people in the magical and empowering process that is food production. Children and youth are involved in all aspects of food production and farm care: seeding, transplanting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and ultimately preparing and eating. Participants learn how to turn the vegetables they grow into healthy snacks and dishes.  We are committed to racial and economic justice and we are working to create a more equitable food system for all.

  1. "The Media Lies About Drugs | The War on Drugs." VICE, Youtube. [13:16] The media has a drug problem, we need to stage an intervention. From 'face-eating cannibals on monkey dust' to people on bath salts 'ripping out their scrotum' to 'crack babies', newspapers keep making up drug stories.   Over the past century, large sections of the press have acted as campaigners for the War on Drugs, hyping up drug-scare stories and peddling false narratives.   From the ‘crack babies’ hysteria that shook America in the 1980’s to the ‘weed is a gateway drug’ theory, media outlets use shock tactics to sell papers. Reports of ‘zombies’ with ‘superhuman strength’ high on ‘monkey dust’ are not only wildly inaccurate, but they dehumanise some of society’s most vulnerable people.   In this episode of The War On Drugs, we debunk some of the media’s biggest drug myths.  In War On Drugs, we examine the social implications of prohibition worldwide. Any attempt to shut down the trade in drugs such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine or weed invariably sets off a chain of events that just makes things worse, leaving a trail of death, illness, violence, slavery, addiction, crime and inequality across the globe.   Everyone loses – except, in a weird kind of way, the drugs themselves.  Watch more from this series:  Can Psychedelics Make You Less Depressed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiT15...​  Debunking Crystal Meth Myths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-VkW...​ The War on Drugs is Racist to the Core https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf5qF...​   Click here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE​    About VICE:  The Definitive Guide To Enlightening Information.

  2. "Why Portugal Decriminalized All Drugs | The War on Drugs." VICE, Youtube. [10:38] In 2001, Portugal decriminalized all drugs. Meanwhile, the police in the Philippines have spent the last four years shooting thousands of addicts dead in the street.   Which is more effective – decriminalization or death?  In The War On Drugs Show, we examine the social implications of prohibition worldwide.   Any attempt to shut down the trade in drugs such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine or weed invariably sets off a chain of events that just makes things worse, leaving a trail of death, illness, violence, slavery, addiction, crime and inequality across the globe.

  1. "Decriminalization of Narcotics: Portugal." Library of Congress, Loc.gov. In 1999, after the approval of a national strategy to combat drugs and drug addiction, the Portuguese government issued Law No. 30/2000, which decriminalized the acquisition, possession, and use of specified plants, substances, or preparations for a person’s own consumption, and turned such conduct into misdemeanors.  Law No. 30/2000 created a Commission for Drug Dissuasion for the processing of these misdemeanors and the application of sanctions, which is regulated by Decree-Law No. 130-A/2001.  To further implement the strategy, the government in 2001 enacted Decree-Law No. 183, which approved a general system of prevention policies, risk reduction, and minimization of harm that created programs and public health structures for increasing awareness and providing for the referral of drug addicts for treatment.

  2. "Want to Win the War on Drugs? Portugal Might Have the Answer." Naina Bajekal, Time.com. When Gonçalo Fonseca was a child, he went to school near Casal Ventoso, a Lisbon neighborhood that also served as the biggest open-air drugs market in Europe. “I have the vivid memory of being a child and seeing someone shoot up in broad daylight,” the photographer says. His experience wasn’t unusual. In the 1990s, some 5,000 addicts roamed the streets of the hilly neighborhood, searching for their daily fix as dirty syringes piled up in the gutters.Back then, Portugal was in the grip of heroin addiction. An estimated 1% of the population—bankers, students, socialites—were hooked on heroin and Portugal had the highest rate of HIV infection in the entire European Union.

  3. "Portugal’s radical drugs policy is working. Why hasn’t the world copied it?" Susana Ferreira, Theguardian.co.uk. Since it decriminalised all drugs in 2001, Portugal has seen dramatic drops in overdoses, HIV infection and drug-related crime.

  1. "Tamara Lanier’s Fight to Reclaim Her History Could Be Any One of Ours." Vanessa K. De Luca, Medium.com. Imagine if you learned that photographs of your enslaved ancestors had been rediscovered in a museum at Harvard. Then imagine how you would feel if someone told you that you have no right to those photographs. Such is the plight of Tamara Lanier, who has taken on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for years. The daguerreotypes depict women and men, breasts and genitalia exposed, their haunting stares a riveting testament to the degradation our ancestors endured during slavery’s shameful reign.

  2. "The 10 Most Infuriating Things People Have Said to Me as a Black Woman." Sondra Rose Marie, Medium.com. ‘Do you know how to read?’ In the time of coronavirus, I spend a lot of time sitting around with the friends in my quarantine circle trading stories about our lives before the pandemic. Recently, our conversation turned to the worst dates we’d ever been on, and as I relayed one of my dating failures, I shared a racially charged comment one suiter made on a first date.

  3. "Woman fights Harvard over rights to nude SC images of her enslaved ancestors." Jennifer Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in the drawer explained what they’d discovered. Only small, handwritten labels affixed to each offered clues: “Fassena (carpenter), Mandingo, plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver), Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah, belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues. In 2019, a woman named Tamara Lanier sued the university for possession of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a descendant of two people captured in them.

  4. "GOP-Led States Still Mad About The 1619 Project, Considering Legislation to Dictate How Slavery Is Taught." Joe Jurado, Theroot.com. It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: Another round of Republicans being unwilling to face the fact that slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being considered to ensure that the brutal reality of slavery isn’t taught in schools.
