Strengthening Local Economies, Everywhere! Dinner & Fair
Buy tickets to the Dinner today! The Fair is open to the public.
Community Alliance for Global Justice invites you to help build alternatives to the corporate agribusiness model, which are healthier for our environment, our communities and ourselves. Nourish both mind and body while enjoying a delicious dinner made entirely from foods produced by Pacific Northwest farmers, ranchers and fisher folk using sustainable and just practices. To support small producers in other countries, the meal will incorporate Fair Trade foods, including rice, bananas, chocolate, coffee, and tea.
The dinner will be prepared by local chefs and Seattle Culinary Academy students. WA state wines and beer will also be served. Please support at $35 if you can - this rate is good for dinner for yourself, and one farmer. Local Farmers will be our honored guests, and will join discussions at each table during the dinner!
Program:
o Dinner 7 â 9pm
o Keynote speaker: Rosalinda Guillen, founder of Bellingham-based Community to Community Development and food justice activist
o Discussions at each table with local farmers!
o Dessert auction!
o How you can get involved in globalizing the local food revolution!
4 â 6:30 pm: Come to the Fair before the dinner: Open to the public!
Want to learn more about how to support alternatives to corporate-led globalization in Seattle and everywhere? Fair Trade, global justice and immigrant rights groups, and food and farming-related non-profit organizations will share information about food justice issues, the Fair Trade movement, local sustainability and gardening resources, and how to work for better trade, immigration and farm policy. Locally and fairly made food and other goods will also be available from small farmers, local businesses, and Fair Trade organizations!
Your support of this event helps CAGJ build our Strengthening Local Economies, Everywhere! Campaign. CAGJ works locally for justice in the global economy. Our campaign aims to educate and mobilize people to support the right of everyone, everywhere, to healthy local economies premised on respect for the environment and all workers in the food chain, including small farmers, farm workers, immigrants and grocery store workers: this is food justice.
CAGJ is excited to partner with Seattle BALLE and the Seattle Culinary Academy, the first cooking academy in the US to teach future chefs about sustainability issues through their partnerships with farms in the Skagit Valley, and their new greenhouse adjacent to Seattle Central.
