[TheUWfarm] Explore Foodsheds in Beacon Hill with CAGJ on our Hike-a-thon!

Hello UW Farmers!

Community Alliance of Global Justice (CAGJ) is seeking hikers and team captains for our 2013 Urban Hike-a-thon! We are a Seattle based, volunteer led trade justice and food sovereignty organization working in solidarity with farmworkers, food chain workers, and eaters both locally and globally. 

We have an exciting event coming up next month for those who are interested in exploring foodsheds in Beacon Hill with fellow local food and farm enthusiasts! Come out with us to enjoy the hike, make friends, and discover cool sites on the neighborhood! Please read below for more information. We look forward to hear from you! 

Happy thursday!

SAT June 15th: CAGJ's Urban Hike-a-thon Fundraiser

Exploring Beacon Hill's Landscape of Resistance!

Click HERE to register for the  hike today!

This year's Hike-a-thon will be a guided exploration of Beacon Hill's social justice and food justice landscape, highlighting the historical and ongoing resistance of folks on the Hill, folks reclaiming land to grow food on, people of color-owned food businesses, the Beacon Hill Food Forest, all with a critical eye on the gentrification of the Hill.

CAGJ is proud to announce 2013's Urban Hike-a-thon on Beacon Hill! Hikers will help us get a copy of our book "Our Food, Our Right" in every library and independent bookstore in the country! For more information on the book, click here.

Register as an Individual solo hiker or register to Start a Team of hikers on our Crowdrise page here. 

All hikers (solo individuals and hikers on a team) pledge to raise $50 to support Our Food, Our Right's publication by asking their friends, family, co-workers, and community to donate just $5, or $10, or $15, or more to support great work.  

Teams make an even bigger impact by getting together a whole group of hikers for a day of fun, each of whom will raise $50.  Bonus points for witty team names!  Crowdrise makes it easy to meet your pledge goal - it provides you with an individual fundraising page to send out to supporters, tracks donations, and some tools (CAGJ will also provide you with a fundraising toolkit as well). 

Questions? Call CAGJ at 206.405.4600, or email us -  fjp@seattleglobaljustice.org.  We'll also need a few volunteers the day of and in the lead up to the event, so do get in touch if you'd like to help out!
