A man eats a tomato from his garden plot at the Shafter Community Garden, a project of the Center for Race, Poverty & the Environment. The garden is located in between two close neighbors - the Sequoia Elementary School on it's south side, and the North Shafter Oil Field on it's north. Residents are concerned for the future of the garden and the school due to the increased fracking activity in the nearby oil field.

No visit to producer regions is complete without meeting once (or twice) with producers in the associations that make up Cenfrocafe. In fact, it is often the highlight of the trip. This time, I met with those in Alto Bolognesi and those in Bajo Ihuamaca – meaning I was able to hear from about 30 producers total.
In addition to getting to hear the usual commentary about how the harvest had been, their thoughts on prices, and general concerns they want to share, I was able to receive some feedback on their sentiments on cooperative leadership and general functioning.
General comments included their concerns about the growing encroachment of leaf rust and their desire to have some protected varieties – in addition to the varieties that yield quality – and the decrease in volume this year. The volume is thought to have more to do with the weather patterns last year than leaf rust.
The nuances of their comments about cooperative leadership will continue to be analyzed. In a nutshell, they say that people stick with Cenfrocafe – we're talking decade-long membership – because of their communication abilities, transparency, and ability to secure a price. They continue to desire more information about how financial decisions in coffee purchasing get made and want to be a louder voice about how extra project money is directed.

Durant les cinq dernières années de guerre en Syrie, il a été estimé que plus de 220000 personnes ont été tuées et environ 12 millions de réfugiés ont un besoin urgent d’assistance humanitaire. Certains sont encore dans le pays et d’autres se sont enfuis au delà des frontières. La pire crise humanitaire contemporaine selon certaines organisations. Nous avons décidé d’organiser une série de concerts bénéfices pour prendre conscience et aider les réfugiés syriens.
Nous nous rassemblons aussi pour reconnaître que le militarisme n’est pas la solution et que les bombardements occidentaux n’arrêteront pas le conflit. Le Canada doit non seulement arrêterles bombardements en Syrie et en Iraq, mais aussi dénoncer le fait de consacrer des ressources financières majeures à la continuation de la militarisation du conflit, ce qui inclut l’envoi de conseillers militaires. Comme l’histoire nous l’a déjà montré, du Vietnam à l’Iraq, bombarder les gens ne les sauve pas.
Tout les fonds reçus au concert de ce soir seront donnés directement à un activiste éprouvé sur le terrain, à Beyrouth, au Liban. cet activiste est un allié et un ami du collectif Montréalais Tadamon ! (tadamon.ca/). Les fonds de solidarité seront utilisés pour acheter des fournitures hivernales (couvertures/vêtements chaud) qui seront directement distribuées aux communautés de refugiées Syrienne proche de la région de Baalbek au Liban située dans la vallée de Beqaa proche de la frontière syrienne. Les réfugiés les plus économiquement marginalisés se sont installés dans cette région car voyager dans des centres urbains come Beyrouth est dispendieux. Les organisateurs et supporteurs de ce concert ont déjà eu l’expérience d’amener de l’aide directe spécifiquement à ces communautés syriennes avec cet activiste en particulier à Beyrouth. Ceci étant dit, il y a déjà un processus d’établit. Merci d’avance pour votre support et solidarité.

Since the beginning of the war, which started 5 years ago in Syria, it has been estimated that 220 000 people were killed and more than 12-million refugees are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, whether they still remain in the country or have escaped across the borders. Some organizations have called it the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, so we have decided to start a series of events to bring awareness and aid to help.
We gather here also to recognize that militarism isn’t the solution and that western military bombs will not stop the conflict. Canada must not only stop sending bombs to Syria and Iraq, but also speak out against the lending of major financial resources to the continued militarization of the conflict, this includes sending military advisers, as we have learned from history, from Vietnam to Iraq, bombing people will not save them.
All funds raised at this concert will go directly to a trusted activist in Beirut, Lebanon, who is an ally and friend to the Tadamon! collective (tadamon.ca/) in Montréal. The solidarity funds will buy winter supplies (blankets / warm clothes) and will be distributed directly to the Syrian refugee communities close to Baalbek, Lebanon located in the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian border. this is where some of the most economically marginalized refugees have settled because traveling to bigger urban centers like Beirut is expensive. The organizers and supporters of this concert have had prior experience in organizing similar direct aid efforts for these specific Syrian communities with this specific activist in Beirut, therefore there is an established process. Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity!

jérémi roy : depuis 2005, Jérémi est actif professionnellement dans le domaine de la composition et de la performance musicale. ayant dirigé ses propres ensembles et accompagné bon nombres d'artistes et groupes, il a su extraire le psychédélisme des musiques populaires occidentales autant que la transe des musiques traditionnelles de l’Orient et du Maghreb. ses deux stages en musique turque (2010 et 2012) à İstanbul l’ont amené à adopter un système de composition modal non-tempéré, le tout accompagné d’une habitude de son enfance d’utiliser des bandes magnétiques et magnétophones comme moteurs du hasard contrôlé. or, son travail solo se veut une synthèse de ces éléments et a été présenté en mai 2015 au festival RE:FLUX à Moncton et dans le cadre d'évènement ponctuels Howl! Arts à Montréal en 2014 et 2015.

Pictured is the community garden that Mercy Corps helped the women start in their village this year. It’s the first garden they’ve ever managed, and they hope to extend it next year with a drip irrigation system that Mercy Corps plans to build. They’re growing a wide variety of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage and potatoes, which they use to feed their families and also sell for some additional income.
