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!

CAGJ-U.S. Social Forum Report-Back

Wed August 25th,
6:30-9:00pm

Location: Hidmo Eritrean Restaurant (20th & Jackson in Central District, 2000 S. Jackson St.)
Six of CAGJ’s members who traveled to Detroit in June for the US Social Forum will share their experiences and highlight the critical national organizing strategies they encountered in areas of food justice, food sovereignty, media justice, immigration reform, global justice, and more!   The group will share photos, provide a brief overview of the history and context of the Social Forums, and illuminate the significance of Detroit, Michigan as the setting for the second US Social Forum.

Our goal is to engage you to share your ideas for how we can harvest the fruit here in Seattle of the seeds that were planted through this momentous learning experience!

After the presentations participants will be invited to reflect on key questions in small groups, including:
*What does it mean to work for food sovereignty in our local community/context?
*How can we strengthen the links between our locally and globally focused organizing?
*What other steps can CAGJ take to become a more multicultural and multiracial organization?
