Dear John,

As we witness the ugliness of disaster capitalism in full swing in Texas and massive corporate bailouts during a global pandemic, we know it’s TIME to reimagine business-as-usual. Grassroots leaders are creating pathways for a just transition to an anti-racist, feminist, and regenerative economy!

Please join us tomorrow for our Feminist Economy Teach-in for People and the Planet, in partnership with the United Frontline Table and the Feminist Green New Deal.

Tuesday, February 23, 2021
3:00–4:30 PM PT / 6:00–7:30 PM ET
RSVP: http://bit.ly/FemEconomy

Hear from our amazing, rad feminist panelists:

• Jazmín Delgado, Strategic Advisor to the The Feminist Peace Initiative and at the Center for Political Education
• Khara Jabola-Carolus, Director of the Hawaiʻi State Commission on the Status of Women
• Santra Dennis, Miami Workers Center
• Simone Senogeles, Indigenous Environmental Network

Learn how we build toward a society that values care work and workers, respects the bodily autonomy of women and gender expansive people, and places us in a right relationship with each other, people in the rest of the planet, as well as Mother Earth.

This teach-in will be available in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.

Now let’s connect the dots between forces of neoliberalism that stifle small farmers, from India to the U.S.

GGJ is proud to join over 85 farmer organizations and allied agroecology and food justice groups in the U.S. to deliver a solidarity statement to Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a united front of over 40 Indian farmers unions. The rallying cry of farmers in India is to repeal the three unjust and unconstitutional laws that were passed without their knowledge or consultation. We extend our solidarity to countless farmers who are peacefully and boldly standing up for their rights and dignity in the face of state-sanctioned violence and repression.

One of the key demands of farmers in India is to receive a Minimum Support Price (MSP)—currently assured for just a few crops—for all produce, including vegetables, which are essential for healthy diets. We recognize the role of the U.S. government in creating the conditions that have led to these repressive laws in India. The U.S. has been a key opponent of India’s limited use of MSP at the World Trade Organization. The U.S., with Australia, Canada, and European allies, has claimed that India’s MSP distorts trade. But, that is not surprising: the U.S. government has been eroding the concept of parity (similar to MSP in India) at home for decades. There is an opportunity for the Biden Administration to shift U.S. trade policy to allow other countries to support fair markets for their farmers and to shift agricultural policy to ensure that our food providers make a living wage.

Al ser testigos de la fealdad del capitalismo del desastre en pleno apogeo en Texas y de los masivos rescates corporativos durante una pandemia global, sabemos que es TIEMPO de reimaginar las cosas habituales de otra forma. ¡Les líderes de base están creando caminos para una transición justa hacia una economía feminista regenerativa y antirracista!

Acompáñenos mañana en nuestro curso de Economía Feminista para la Gente y el Planeta, en colaboración con la Mesa Unida de las Primeras Líneas y el Nuevo Pacto Verde Feminista.
