Upcoming Workshops

Here are a list of upcoming programs from our team at Mandela Partners. Our team organizes platforms for the community, organizers, and people interested in food equity and food business development. Our programs aim to raise awareness, amplify our community-led food access, assist with livelihood strategies, and reinvest funds into local food systems. 

ADA Forum

Wednesday, June 1 • 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM via Zoom

Due to excessive accessibility lawsuits against retailers in the state of California, Mandela Partners has teamed up with Guardian ADA to share knowledge and awareness of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Tune in to: 

• avoid being sued

• gain strategies and solutions to meet compliance 

• create space that is accessible to everyone in the community 

Registration is required to attend, please register using this link. Folks can still join while the event is live. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
