Work through some key points within the Charter that could be assessed to determine values alignment between funders, institutions, and resident-led sovereignty initiatives and demonstrate how developing an accountability metric that assesses stakeholder alignment is integral to the work of justice, liberation and equity.

The Challenge
The Challenge
The policy issue that we're hoping to address is the lack of consideration for longitudinal accountability within policy advocacy networks. We would like to see more farmer-led entities be at the forefront of advocating for ourselves through Food Policy Councils that we run. The current model fails us, and we would like to use the Good Food Charter as an example of how this happens.
The Impact
The Impact
Supporters should care because this has a direct impact on resource allocations. If we don’t change this then concepts like “sovereignty” that we fought to be included in policy will just become meaningless words that can be co-opted and used to redirect funds to White Dominant Institutions that say they are providing “supports/TA” for us to be “sovereign”.
