The Gill Tract Community Farm, which is co-owned by the University of California- Berkeley, has allegedly banned White people from their farm on Saturdays, designating the day exclusively for use by ‘Black, Indigenous, and People of Color’ (BIPOC).
A complaint was filed with the US Department of Education by the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), with some criticizing the move as an example of ‘systemic racism.’
According to their website,” The UC Gill Tract Community Farm is a collaborative community project between the University of California Berkeley and the local community, focused on issues of food justice and urban farming. It is located in Albany, CA, at the corner of San Pablo Ave and Marin Ave.
