CAGJ/AGRA Watch gift the US Food Sovereignty Alliance flag to the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, in Senegal, as a symbol of transcontinental solidarity
At 8pm, Simone and Heather will report-back and share photos from our recent AGRA Watch trip to Kenya and Senegal.

In Senegal, Simone, Heather, and AGRA Watch co-chair Bill Aal participated in the African Food Systems Conference and the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa’s Assembly, where we were officially approved as an Associate Member. Join us to hear more about what this means for our work, what we learned at the conference, and where we will go from here in solidarity with the African food sovereignty movement.
