Help guide our work to transform California’s food system

This meeting is for YOU – our members and allies - to learn about and help guide our coalition in its path towards becoming a more powerful political force and creating an equitable, just and sustainable food system for all of us.

• Learn about and provide feedback on our coalition’s new training and mentoring program.
• How can our emerging training and mentorship program best support groups like yours?
• Determine our campaign and policy priorities on a local, state and federal level for the next two to three years.
• What should we advocate for over the next two years?

This meeting is one of up to a dozen member meetings that CFJC is hosting around the state from December 2007 to March 2008. This event is co-hosted by Collective Roots, Conexions, the University of California Cooperative Extension Santa Clara County and the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems.

The California Food and Justice Coalition is a statewide membership coalition committed to the basic human right to healthy food while advancing social, agricultural, environmental and economic justice. Through advocacy, organizing and education, we collaborate with community-based efforts to create a sustainable food supply for the residents of California. We envision a California food system in which all activities, from farm to table, are equitable, healthful, regenerative and community-driven.

We encourage you to contact us prior to the meeting and give us your opinion on what our policy programs should be over the coming years. RSVP to jessicabell@foodsecurity.org, 510-704-0245 so we know how many people to cater for!
