Mar 12-Mar 14, 2010
Midwest Real Food Summit

"This March, students and allies from across the Midwest will gather at Macalester College to discuss, share, and analyze how and where our student movements fit in a larger context of social change. Students will explore their role in advocating for and creating a more just and sustainable food system. The Summit will provide 150 high school and college students with opportunity to engage in student-led workshops and panels, gain practical skills for building a movement, participate in a forum for broadening networks, and take part in a soon-to-be-determined awesome action event/field trip.

The following are a few of the themes that will be addressed through workshops, speakers, and panel discussions: running an effective student campaign, themes of power and oppression, farm worker and dining service workers' rights, and international agricultural trade policy. This 3rd annual Summit will be a diverse, exciting, and fruitful event. Don't miss this opportunity to strengthen your activism and connect with other students working for real food! Register today!
