How to get involved: I want to organize an event
Eat Think Vote gathers a wide diversity of organisations and partners, united in their agreement to work together to build a more healthy, sustainable and just food system.
Organisations can get involved by doing one or several of the following:
- Organizing an event in their community
- Providing policy leadership in the area of their expertise
1. Event host
- Agrees with the general goal of a sustainable, just and healthy food system in Canada
- Organizes an event that includes the following elements: provides food or a meal; invites candidates from all political parties; invites community members, especially those from marginalized or underrepresented groups; facilitates discussion
- Host an inclusive, non-partisan event where all political parties are invited to attend
- Abstain from directly or indirectly supporting or opposing any political party or candidate for public office
- May work alone or with other organizations and actors in their community
- Takes charge of their event’s logistics and promotion, with help from the FSC team and toolkit
- Conducts a modest evaluation of their event and reports back to the FSC campaign manager
2. Policy expert
- Contributes to developing backgrounders on food issues, including a highlight of current policy solutions. These backgrounders will help event hosts across the country to engage in well-informed conversations with their candidates
- Acts as a national spokesperson on a specific topic or policy solution
- Reaches out to their own networks, inviting them to organize or participate in an event
