Great news in NY!

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated to keep CAGJ fiercely independent! Organizing and community-building is needed now more than ever. CAGJ keeps you connected to the many struggles taking place to make our food system more just, from farmworkers in Skagit Valley berry fields to African farmers’ battle for agroecology and against AGRA and the Gates Foundation.

We still need to raise $3510 to reach our $20k goal! We are so close! All donations continue to be matched in June thanks to generous CAGJ members.

In 2025, CAGJ co-hosted “Gates’s Global Power Grab: Building a Movement Against Oligarchy”, a fascinating and powerful webinar that brought together leaders who critiqued each of the sectors the Gates Foundation has negatively impacted: health, climate, education and agriculture. It was a call to action to confront the growing power of Gates and oligarchy.

In the fall, CAGJ co-hosted "Who rules the roost: Corporate vs Community Poultry in Africa," with SAFCEI, GRAIN, SKI, and AFSA. There was strong agreement that the expansion of corporate control over chicken in Africa - strongly supported by Gates - must be stopped. Participants from that webinar are now working together to launch a campaign at the World Social Forum in August 2026!

CAGJ brings together movement leaders across sectors - education, public health, climate justice, animal welfare and food sovereignty - to critically examine Gates’ legacy—and strategize how to confront the power of billionaire philanthropy. The time for accountability is long overdue!

Your support makes it possible for us to critique philanthrocapitalism and the powerful Gates Foundation. CAGJ relies on our members and supporters for a big part of our budget - you help us stay fiercely independent!

Wisconsin farmers are in crisis. Lawmakers aren't helping. | Opinion - AOL Trump touts bringing back manufacturing but seems willing to throw farmers under the bus with tariffs, wars and our food coming from who knows where.

November 2024 marked twenty-five years since a global movement called “Globalize Liberation, Not Corporate Power” successfully took mass direct action to shut down the World Trade Organization in Seattle on November 30, 1999. Out of that powerful week of protest, CAGJ was born.

Facing police repression of nonviolent action, 1999 WTO protesters chanted, “Whose Streets? Our Streets!” Twenty-five years later, veterans of the movement shared their vision for how the Battle in Seattle is remembered.

In partnership with the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), CAGJ created multiple opportunities in 2025 for Seattlelites to learn from the inspiring legacy of the WTO protests. Building on MOHAI’s exhibit, “Teamsters, Turtles, and Beyond: The Legacy of the Seattle WTO Protests” CAGJ co-hosted an interactive WTO story-telling event featuring one of the luminaries of the global justice movement, Walden Bello, visiting from the Philippines!

This year is CAGJ’s 25th anniversary, and your support will allow us to continue to bring movement history to the people! As we celebrate our own history, we also look to the future - here’s to another 25 years!

Philanthrocapitalism attempts to use market processes to do good, but markets are ill-suited to being socially constructive.

In April 2025, CAGJ co-organized the weekend-long Art & Revolution Convergence, starting with a hands-on workshop at MOHAI after which participants created a beautiful community mural in South Seattle reading “Fund Communities, Not War!” The next day, 60 people gathered at Vashon Green School to learn how to use art to invigorate activism and organizing with creative signage, puppets, theater, poetry, and more.

Now we are preparing for a deeper dive Art & Revolution Convergence to take place in August of 2026! Participants will experience 5 days of arts-organizing workshops, skills sharing, and public action focused on building skills, strategies, networks, and imagination to spread and deepen the use of arts and culture in direct action campaigns and movements.

The Convergence brings CAGJ together with:

La Resistencia-dedicated to shutting down the NW Detention Center
Jewish Voice for Peace, in support of their Cut Ties with Genocide campaign
Seattle art collective who created beautiful installation CAGJ has helped mobilize over past year
Our arts facilitators: David Solnit, Jo Redline Christian and Dana Schuerholz.

CAGJ aims to make large-scale art to animate our protests at the Gates Foundation, and to celebrate our work in solidarity with the African Food Sovereignty movement.

Movement building would not be possible without the support of our community. Please consider becoming a CAGJ Member either by donating (tinyurl.com/FundCAGJ) or filling out the Member form today (tinyurl.com/joinCAGJ)!
