Food Justice Project Solidarity Campaign Point Person

Food Justice Project Solidarity Campaign Point Person FJP'S Solidarity Campaigns support local family farmers, farmworkers, food chain workers, the right to good food, and food justice everywhere. Point people are needed to act as liaisons, connecting CAGJ and the Food Justice Project to ongoing mobilization for food sovereignty. As a point person, depending on the campaign and your interests, you will: track developments and actions for one of the campaigns we support; develop fliers, print pieces, newsletter articles, blogposts, or email alerts about the campaign; help mobilize members and organize actions to further campaigns led by allied organizations; report back to FJP's organizing team, who will provide support and feedback.

Minimum commitment of 9 months. About the Food Justice Project The Food Justice Project is another of CAGJ's primary programs. 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.

FJP coordinates research, organizes Teach-Outs – work-parties and visits to local farms and other key food sites – coordinates Educate for Action workshops on food politics, organizes events and actions around our Solidarity Campaigns aimed at building the movement for food justice and sovereignty. We also work to get our two publications out into the world: our book and our zine titled, "Our Food, Our Right: Recipes for Food Justice." General Internship

Requirements All internships require a weekly commitment of a minimum of 3 – 5 hours. We seek persons who possess strong communication and organizational skills, who are enthusiastic about CAGJ's mission, who are dependable, and follow-up without constant supervision. Internships are unpaid.

The intern will work with a team of CAGJ activists and directly with the two project co-chairs (who are also volunteers). Some office hours may be required, and the ability to work well independently and remotely will also be very important. In general, the CAGJ work environment is casual and friendly, but expects accountability and dependability from its volunteers to get things done!

CAGJ is a volunteer run organization with two full-time staff. Interns play critical roles within and outside of the organization.
