The Capital Market was formed in direct response to the ongoing cycle of disinvestment and food apartheid happening in our neighborhoods in Prince George's County. Our mission is deeply rooted in not just increasing food access for residents in neighborhoods that have been victims of systematic marginalization, but to advocate for increased land ownership for Black farmers, financial support for Black business, and organizing residents through foodways and food stories that we cherish to build the beloved community we want to see.
This year we're starting our TCM Ambassadors program and we
are looking for passionate, creative, and reliable people who celebrate the mission, purpose, and community that we center.
