Josh Klein is a native of Akron, Ohio and lived in Pittsburgh and Columbus before moving to Cleveland. The older of two brothers, his sense of community was fostered by regular extended-family gatherings and by his parents’ example through their many friendships in the neighborhood and out. Growing up in the Lutheran Church and then the DIY/punk scene in the 1990s, Josh first became involved in social justice through groups like Food Not Bombs and Anti-Racist Action. In 1999, he became a father to his beautiful daughter. Josh has been working on the issue of food access in urban areas. He is currently employed with City Fresh and is a founding member of the Gordon Square Farmers’ Market. The farmers’ market brings together many of his passions, including community building.
