What We Do

Educate for Action2014-06-28 11.09.56

Community-based workshops and "teach-outs" educating people on food justice & sovereignty issues and encouraging people to take action.

"Our Food, Our Right: Recipes for Food Justice" is CAGJ's educational book in two editions, with recipes, how-to, and essays on food politics, justice, and sovereignty. A great teaching resource!

Take action to support these campaigns and food sovereignty everywhere!

We organize and support campaigns in solidarity with local family farmers and food producers, farmworkers, for the right to good food, food chain workers, and food justice globally!

Victory against GE Salmon! CAGJ Photo Album

This month (Feburary 2025) CAGJ celebrated a huge historic win with representatives of the many organizations who collectively stopped genetically engineered salmon! The company who attempted to manufacture the frankenfish, AquaBounty, is closing its operation. The battle against GE salmon was waged for over three decades – from 1994-2025! We want to honor all of the groups (past and present) that CAGJ is proud to have collaborated with, using a huge diversity of tactics, starting with Friends of the Earth and then inspired by Valerie Segret to stand with Northwest Tribal Fishermen in this struggle.

We honor indigenous leadership in this fight, working with these and other bodies: Muckleshoot Food Sovereignty Project, Muckleshoot Tribe, Alaska Big Village Network, Alaska Inter-Tribal Council and Quinault Indian Nation. In addition we stand with American Antivivisection Society, BlockCorporateSalmon, Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, Center for Food Safety, Center for Water Advocacy, Consumers Reports, Earthjustice, Food and Water Watch, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Living Ocean Society, NAMA, Vigilance OGM, Wild Salmon Nation and Williams County Alliance in Ohio.

See CBAN’s action gallery, celebrating resistance to the GM Salmon in Canada! Learn more about CAGJ’s campaign in solidarity with Northwest Tribes against GE salmon (click here and here). Watch our short film, Salmon People.
