For the last 20 years, we’ve fought
for three fundamental goals:
sustainable food, clean water,
and a livable climate for all.
For the last 20 years, we’ve
fought for three fundamental
goals: sustainable food, clean
water, and a livable climate
for all.
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.
Against All Odds is a hybrid event with two ways to participate.

What People Are Saying
“The last benefit exemplified their commitment to grassroots activism and direct action to protect our food and water by featuring speakers like Assemblymember Emily Gallagher and Sandra Steinberg who have been instrumental in banning fracking.”

“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.”

“We are so glad to have been at your beautiful (and delicious) event. We were delighted to see Wenonah — a true climate hero — and the impressive, articulate speakers. We are so very grateful for the work you have done and continue to do to protect our beautiful planet and our very lives…BRAVO!”Thank you to our Against All Odds Benefit Host Committee!
