SOCIAL MOVEMENT ORGANIZING & TRAINING

This project was founded to help organize mass social movements for economic, racial, agricultural and climate Justice, and to support allied liberation work of all kinds.

We identify organizing as “organizing people to organize people to organize people”. We promote the need for a viral movement-building strategy, while fostering collaborative projects and on-ramps to leadership and democratic structure throughout. Basically moving people to move people to get back in control of our agriculture and our economy at a large enough scale to turn the tides of our futures.

We educate and train, organize and coordinate, and mobilize for protests, events, campaigns, work parties, workshops, and learning exchanges. We seize any opportunity to help knit allies into networks and organized work for structural social change. The common thread in our work is food sovereignty. Growing food, and helping people grow food, to regenerate land and feed people is not only essential for food security and food justice, it’s possibly the most promising vehicle for realizing true democracy. It is the crossroads of so much thought and activity, and economic and ecological resilience. Realizing the dream of people deciding everything about the production and distribution of all the food in their community will have profound positive impacts through every aspect of life and economy. Organizing toward this goal and connecting with the soil is not only strategically necessary, but enriching emotionally and socially for every age, cultural background, or class.
