Sliding scale $40-$100 Please be generous in your support! We want to make this event accessible to everyone while also recognizing the need for us to raise crucial funds.

Support a Farmer/Farmworker/Organizer: By purchasing a second ticket (at $50 or $100), you ensure that local farmers, farmworkers and food organizers can be honored guests at our event. Look for this purchasing option when you register.

Solidarity Tickets: We are committed to making this an accessible event for all. If you are unable to afford a full-price ticket, please contact our event coordinator for Solidarity Tickets. 

Table Captains: Bring Friends to SLEE!

Table Captains traditionally fill a table for 8 guests! Table Captains purchase their guests' tickets in advance, providing CAGJ with important seed funds for our organizing. Captains may also give their guests the option of purchasing their tickets individually. Learn more and find a sample email here, or email our event coordinator.
