Hello ACT-SO MOCO Friends and Supporters!
ACT-SO of Montgomery County MD Branch of NAACP has partnered with Seasonal Roots to bring healthy, delicious food to our community, to support local farmers and artisans, and to raise money to support programs for Montgomery County students!
Seasonal Roots is an online farmers market that delivers “dirt to doorstep” to families in Maryland and Virginia. Each week the market offers more than 200 items that are all grown and produced locally, sustainably, and ethically. Market items include fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, baked goods, prepared foods, vegan specialties and more.
To access the Seasonal Roots market, you sign-up as a member and pay an annual membership fee. Through the ACT-SO Montgomery County fundraiser, the fee is reduced by 50% – it’s just $25 for ACT-SO MOCO friends and supporters. And when you join, Seasonal Roots donates $20 to the ACT-SO of Montgomery County MD Branch of NAACP!
Once you are a member, what you order and when you order are up to you. There is no obligation. You can select exactly what produce and extras you want, skip or pause weekly deliveries, and cancel anytime. The online market opens Friday at 2:00PM and closes at midnight on Sunday. Orders are delivered on Wednesdays in Montgomery County and Northern Virginia.
To join Seasonal Roots and earn a $20 donation for the ACT-SO MOCO, use promotional code

Javion MaGee Resource Document
Have you seen our urgent letter this afternoon? Though I wish this letter can be written with warmer news, it is paramount that we as change agents remember that our very service reflects our commitment to an America for all rather than a few. That said, one thing is clear- we’re sick and tired of the trauma/death faced by our intersectional communities especially as our fellow youth.
On the evening of Wednesday, September 11th, a 21 year old truck driver was found hanging from the base of a tree within rural Vance County, North Carolina. Despite the families demands for transparency and timeliness regarding the death of their loved one, the family emphasized great difficulties in receiving transparent reports from law enforcement and medical examiners. As local/state entities continue their investigation, it is paramount that law enforcement agencies remain consistent in uplifting the same standard of communication for all our intersectional communities especially when losing loved ones. Especially when having to bury their loved ones when their whole life is ahead of them, and especially when families have to fight to get answers in this gut wrenching event. We not only extend our thoughts/prayers to Mr. MaGee alongside his family, but we stand with them in their calls to amplify their loved one as they await answers….

I only need you to let me know which dates you can guarantee your unit can host and I will get our educator to come to your unit.
