Virtual event & NYC event 

This October, Food & Water Watch will host Against All Odds – a virtual conference and benefit to mobilize our community to protect our planet!

Corporations may have the money, but we have the power of people on our side. We’ve proven that against all odds, when we work together, we can win our fights for safe food, clean water and a livable climate for all!

Register today to join us for Against All Odds on October 11th and/or 12th to celebrate the progress we’ve made and mobilize for the future alongside hundreds of activists.

About the Event

We’re fighting for three fundamental goals: sustainable food, clean water and a livable climate for all. We’ve proven that when we work together, we can take on corporations that endanger our chance to secure the essential things we need to thrive – and win! They may have deep pockets, but we have dedicated champions like you on our side.

Against All Odds is a call to action and celebration of our community. Because of you, our grassroots movement has the power to win – no matter the odds.

Against All Odds is a hybrid event with two ways to participate.
