The Autonomous People’s Response to the UN Food Systems Summit invites you to be part of a colourful mobilization in parallel and in the run up to the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit.
On Sunday 25 July, a global virtual rally of 8 hours opened the People’s Counter-Mobilization to Transform Corporate Food Systems. An online and offline mobilization that moved like a wave touching all continents, overcoming borders and reaffirming our unity and resistance struggle against the corporate capture of food systems.
We celebrated our diversity and exposed our joy through political interventions, testimonies and visions on how to radically transform our food systems, including through artistic performances, music, poems and dance.
The second day intends to offer a substantive space of dialogue on some of the critical fault lines of the summit, with special emphasis to the different domains where the corporate capture materializes. Representatives from Small-scale food producers, Indigenous Peoples and Civil Society’s organizations will dialogue with Member States, national governments, UN Agencies and Academia’s representatives.
The third day intends to celebrate our vision for reclaiming peoples’ power and transforming the industrial food system. 12 self-organized side events and 3 self-organized autonomous regional events will shape this third day of counter-mobilization.
The Concluding Panel will aim at: providing a space for interregional perspectives and dialogue, present impressions and preliminary conclusions of Days 1-3 of the countermobilization, and discuss the way of the in the run-up to the Summit and beyond.
