FYI - report from our friends at Green Mountain Ramen

Captain's Log

Last Friday, Brattleboro hosted a special screening of with Amy Goodman .

The film follows Amy Goodman's personal journey alongside some of the most significant stories and movements of the last three decades, highlighting the vital role independent journalism plays in revealing truths that might otherwise go unheard.

The evening included a conversation with Amy Goodman, her brother David Goodman (host of VT Digger's The Vermont Conversation), Carl Deal (co-director of the film), Ariel Goodman (award-winning journalist and Amy's niece), and of course, Zazu the Good Pup.

Listening to Amy reflect on more than 30 years of independent journalism, one phrase stayed with me:

"Go to where the silence is, and say something."

I felt deeply moved by those words.

For me, Green Mountain Ramen has become our way of speaking into a silence that exists around food.

As a nurse, I've watched nutrition become increasingly disconnected from healthcare.

As a community member, I've watched good food become harder to afford.

As a business owner, I've watched inflation change people's buying habits, eating habits, and even how often they gather together in public.

We don't believe the answer is waiting for someone else to solve it.

Real change often begins at the community level.

Our Pay-It-Forward / Pay-What-You-Can model is our way of saying something.

It's people helping people.

Ramen lover helping other ramen lovers.

It's recognizing that when times get harder, communities can either pull apart or pull together.

We're choosing to pull together.

If someone can pay full price, wonderful.

If someone wants to pay a little extra to help their neighbor, wonderful.

If someone needs a little help this week, that's okay too.

Because a resilient community is one that finds ways to care for its own.

Food is medicine.

Community is medicine.

And sometimes, saying something starts with serving a bowl of ramen.

Special Thank you to everyone at Latches Theater and Brattleboro Community TV for making this amazing event happen!
