#ReclaimMLK 2nd Annual Day of Service
Welcome to 2024 where
- rent is even higher then last year,
- SMUD and PG&E are through the roof,
- and it has become harder and harder for the middle, low, and no income class to keep a roof over our heads and food in our kitchens (if we have kitchens).

We created this garden as a means to create relief in Sacramento's Black community.
Access to free fruits, veggies, herbs, and nuts allow folks to pay their rent and their bills, cover gas to get to work/school, and if we are lucky...invest in self care.
“I have the audacity to believe,” he exclaimed, “that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education, and culture for their minds and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.”

Last year was the first year we decided to not march and instead to come together to help grow food for the community. It was a hit so we are making this tradition. Dr. Martin Luther King would have wanted the people to be able to eat!
"You can’t have a revolution if you can’t feed the people." - Laila Aziz
In the spirit of Martin Luther King...
- This garden is not government funded
- This garden is completely built and maintained by the people
- This garden provides absolutely free food to Black folks in Sacramento regardless of employment, or access to other resources.
- This garden is intentionally in a historically Black yet heavily gentrified community.
