Rise Up! Summer School: Cultivating Care, Growing Movements

CAGJ’s Rise Up! Summer School is a free, 3-month political education and leadership development program for community members, where we create space to collectively develop tools and analysis to strengthen the global food sovereignty movement.

This year, we will dig into the root of movement building — creating more space for joy! — beginning with these guiding questions:

- How and why do we build grassroots power? What does it mean to be part of a social movement?
- How do we organize ourselves in ways that sustain us all better than the extractive and exploitative systems under which we currently live?
- As we build solidarity with struggles for justice, healing, and sovereignty, how do we always find our way back to, in the words of bell hooks, “love as the practice of freedom”?

We will situate our conversations in food systems, in the work of our partners with whom we have cultivated solidarity, and in strengthening the grassroots, global movement for Food Sovereignty.
