Organizations Filed Purposes: PAN is a catalyst for food system transformation. We use grassroots science, strategic communications and coalition organizing to build power with communities to confront the harms of industrial agriculture and build solutions.

PAN has campaign activities in four key agricultural states, as well as national and international programs. Our state campaigns in California, Hawaii, Iowa and Minnesota use coalition organizing, strategic communications and grassroots science to raise public awareness about pesticide harms and build momentum toward a healthier food and farming system. In 2019-2020, our successes included 1) winning a new rule in California to protect schoolchildren and communities from the brain-harming pesticide chlorpyrifos, and leveraging this victory to build momentum for similar measures in other states (e.g. Maryland, Oregon and Washington) 2) collaborating with Midwest farmers to win protections from crop-damaging herbicides like dicamba through both legislative and legal actions, and also to press for safer alternatives; and 3) building momentum for national and international-level support for biodiversity protection and farming as a climate change solution

PAN builds network power through strategic alliances with other organizations, particularly those whose members are on the frontlines of harm from chemical-intensive agriculture (e.g., farmworkers, rural families, community-scale farmers and Indigenous communities). Our campaign work often leads to creation of formal coalitions for which PAN acts as facilitator, administrator and/or fiscal sponsor. One of our fiscal sponsorees is the California Farmer Justice Collaborative (CFJC), a group which PAN helped create as a policy coordination space for farmers of color, who now lead the organization. Another sponsoree, Californians for Pesticide Reform, has over 190 member groups and participated in the successful effort to ban chlorpyrifos in California. Through our Fellows program, PAN continued to support both CFJC and the Protect our Keiki coalition in Hawaii. In 2019-2020, PAN served as a fiscal sponsor to more than 20 allied organizations that do not have 501c3 status
