Webinars
(July 2022) Hear from farmer Noah McDonald and organizers from ASPCA and the Land Stewardship Project about how they are driving grassroots efforts against the powerful corporations who run factory farms, and learn about policies that are moving us towards a future where sustainable animal agriculture is the norm.
(November 2021) Hear about the Protecting America's Meatpacking Workers Act, a new bill that recognizes the need for real protections for workers in the meat and poultry industry, and calls for a hard look at the massive power that a small handful of corporations wield over the sector.
(July 2021) Watch three incredible organizers discuss how we can liberate our food systems from the stranglehold of a handful of big food and ag corporations. This webinar will deepen your understanding of power within our food and farm systems, and provide ways to support existing organizing efforts.
(March 2021) During the webinar, you’ll hear about BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities working together to restore and maintain regional economies and the critical role of working people in sustaining resilience in our food systems. Hear from four organizers on what they are doing to create regional food economies that thrive on cooperation, ecological stewardship, and communal health and wellbeing.
(October 2020) Hear from four incredible organizers who are at the forefront of building BIPOC community-driven food systems that are equitable and sustainable for working people, and both rural and urban communities.
(October 2020) Watch to get all of the details on the application process for this year's School of Political Leadership and hear from past SoPL participants about their experience in the program.
(June 2020) US agriculture’s roots in colonization and enslavement mean that BIPOC producers still have limited access to capital, financial support, and markets—this is changing, slowly but surely, thanks to the work of food and farm organizations, leaders and communities that are dismantling racism and white supremacy, and imagining alternate ways to be in relationship with land, nature and each other. Hear from some of these leaders.
(June, 2020) Navajo Nation has been disproportionately impacted by coronavirus, and even as its residents are dealing with the impacts of the virus itself, members of the community are organizing together to ensure the safety and well-being of their people. In this webinar, hear from a policy expert, community organizer, and farmer and researcher about how they are rising up to the current moment.
(March 2020) Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, our nation’s farmers and food workers have remained hard at work to provide for our survival. This moment is clarifying our reliance on workers who are navigating a system already rooted in inequities. These 21+ million members of our food system are truly essential workers - without them, few of us will eat. Yet many are facing dangerous conditions, and have little access to protective gear. That is morally wrong, dangerous, and unsustainable. Hear from three inspiring organizers on ways we can work together to create a food and farm system that values the workers who are at its core.
(April 2018) Tyson Foods controls a quarter of the meat market, and affects the lives of thousands of workers, farmers, and community members. Hear from Magaly Licolli, Director of the Northwest Arkansas Worker Justice Center, and David Muraskin, Food Safety and Health Attorney with Public Justice, who are challenging Tyson on behalf of workers and farmers.
