Food Justice Project

Food Justice is the right of communities everywhere to produce, distribute, access, and eat good food regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, citizenship, ability, religion, or community. Good food is healthful, local, sustainable, culturally appropriate, humane, and produced for the sustenance of people and the planet.

Our Community Education focus includes Teach-Outs supporting and visiting local food sites, and publication of Our Food, Our Right, a handbook combining hands-on tools for change with community recipes and political awareness to engage YOU in joining in the struggle for food justice!

Through community education, political action, and anti-oppressive organizing and community-building, CAGJ's Food Justice Project seeks to challenge and transform the globalized, industrial, corporate-driven food system and promote existing alternatives as we join the global struggle for food sovereignty for all!

The Food Justice Project meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Please contact Chris at fjp@seattleglobaljustice.org to find out more and help organize!

You can add yourself to the listserv (and receive meeting & event announcements, and a few food justice resources/articles, 1-2 posts a week) by clicking here!

About the Food Justice Project

The Food Justice Project works to connect the local food and sustainable agriculture movements to broader struggles for justice. We have two overarching objectives: (1) Making local, sustainably and humanely produced food accessible to everyone regardless of race, class, ethnicity, ability, religion, citizenship, or community. (2) Working in solidarity with small farmers and immigrant workers in strengthening the Washington state food system.

We can always use more help if you’d like to be a part of our work! Email fjp@seattleglobaljustice.org for ways to get involved.
