We’ve proven that by working together, we can take on corporations threatening our most precious resources and our planet – and win! They may have deep pockets, but we have incredible champions like you on our side.
Against All Odds is a call to action and celebration of our community – people who care deeply about building a livable future for all – like you! Because of you, our grassroots movement has the power to win – no matter the odds.
Celebrate 20 Years.

strategies for the future.
We are reflecting on 20 incredible years of protections for our food, water, and climate. We recently united with members in community and solidarity to look back on our hard-fought wins, energize ourselves to tackle the difficult challenges ahead, and we heard from experts, experienced organizers, and the next generation of climate activists. We:
- Recognized our honoree activists Ken Schles, Steve Max, and Jackie Kendall
- Heard keynotes from Zephyr Teachout and Senator Cory Booker
- Learned about current campaigns, organizing tactics, and the future of our movement

“This was an incredible event. The music, the venue, the speakers… It was really top-notch. I also really appreciated the price point. $150 felt like a stretch, but not so much that it counted us out. It felt like we were making a generous donation to an organization we care about. The content at the event validated that decision and helped me to understand the scope of what Food & Water Watch does.”
