Brain Food Garden Project's Board of Directors are pleased to announce receiving on March 27th BFGP's Letter of Incorporation from the Department of State of New York. The Secretary will include the letter of incorporation with the next board meeting minutes. The Board Directors also announced that at the next Board of Directors Meeting the organizations Bylaws will be voted on moving Brain Food Garden Project one step closer to receiving its 501(c)3 status.
Meta's recent decision to remove its third-party fact-checking program and relax rules on monitoring hate speech protecting the world’s most vulnerable citizens does not align with Brain Food Garden Projects code of ethics. We believe as a mental health and food justice peer run and operated nonprofit that these changes will amplify misinformation causing and expanding mental health challenges throughout our society.
BFGP prides itself on being a community builder that wishes to see every individual reach their fullest and highest potential in life. Our concerns moving forward, is that Meta platforms effectiveness in combating divisive and untruthful content in the future will be nonexistent.
Therefore as of January Brain Food Garden Projects has cancelled our Threads and Instagram accounts. We have officially joined Bluesky social at @brainfoodgp.bsky.social
When it is up and running we will be joining Bluesky’s app Flashes (like Instagram)
And finally, Wednesday March 26th will be our last day on Facebook.
We invite you to join us on the newly forming Trust Cafe social platform. https://lnkd.in/epNrhv3X
Whatever you personally decide you will always be able to find us at our website www.brainfoodgp.org and you will find me sharing all of BFGP’s latest on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/brain-food-garden-project or my page at https://lnkd.in/eidgStjj and very limited on Pinterest.
Eat well & be well,
Sean Brennan
