Food Justice DMV /Justicia Alimentaria DMV - with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde

I recently photographed a fundraising event for Food Justice DMV/Justicia Alimentaria DMV, an organization that provides vital food sustenance to thousands in the DC metropolitan area. 

The featured speaker was the distinguished Episcopal Bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, in conversation with Rev. Nilse Furtado-Gilliam of the Clarendon United Methodist Church. They spoke of bravery, mercy, social justice, hope, the blessings and struggles of faith in our daily and political lives, and the necessity of joy as a sustaining presence.

Music and dancing was provided by Son Cosita Seria, who specialize in performing Son Jarocho music.

Thanks to Food Justice DMV founder Denise Woods and Deborah Thornton for this opportunity.
