CAGJ is excited to launch a year-long Strategic Planning & Assessment Process (SAPP for short) beginning now and going through next Spring. We are building a “Dream Team” of folks that care about the direction of CAGJ to help guide our process. Read below for a detailed description of the goals of this team and the expectations.
***If you are interested in joining, please scroll down and fill out this google form!***
The goal of CAGJ’s SAPP is to reinvigorate CAGJ by engaging our members in reflecting on our purpose in the food sovereignty movement and our role in the current political moment. We want our members to lead in determining a vision for the future of CAGJ, our organizing strategies, and how we will transform the food system! Read more about our SAPP here:
