Have you ever wanted to explore parts of our foodshed, by foot? Want to check out some urban farm & food justice projects, take action locally, learn something new, support the Community Alliance for Global Justice and the 2nd edition of "Our Food, Our Right," all while hitting the trail – in the city?

Join us on April 28, 10am-3pm for a fun day of urban hiking at the Urban Hike-a-thon, and support the publication of "Our Food, Our Right" & CAGJ's work!  You can find out more about the hike route and details at www.seattelglobaljustice.org/food-justice/cagjhike, and read more about "Our Food, Our Right" and what your fundssupport at http://www.seattleglobaljustice.org/book/

Hikers pledge to raise $50 from their community, and can also assemble a team of friends, families, co-workers, and more to participate (or donate to meet their fundraising pledge) in a Hike-a-thon through the city, where we will:

• Stop at local food justice projects, union grocers, locally sourced restaurants, local food processors, urban farms, and more en route
• Share a lunch break with a view,
• Discover new things around every turn,
• Find the green in the city

Together we will raise $10,000 to publish our 2nd book, foreword by Raj Patel.
