Rally for a Fair Farm Bill this Thurs in Albany
Do you care about sustainable, healthy food for your community? Do you want to support small farmers in New York and fight big
agribusinesses? Come join Food & Water Watch at our…
Rally for a Fair Farm Bill!
Outside Senator Gillibrand’s office
11 Clinton Ave (on Clinton between N Pearl and Broadway) Albany, NY Thursday, March 15th, 2012
12 pm – 1 pm
RSVP here to let us know you’re coming!
Come join Food & Water Watch to show Senator Gillibrand that the Capital District wants this year’s Farm Bill to work for families, farmers, and the environment, not just big agribusiness. She has a chance this year to make some real change and mend our broken food system, but she needs to hear from YOU.
We need lots of people to come, so whether or not you can make it, be sure to forward this along to friends, as well!
Planned schedule:
12-12:45 Rally
12:45 Press conference, present coalition letter with 50 orgs/farmers, make a group call to Gillibrand’s office in DC
1:00 Take action like writing a letter if you have time
RSVP and also invite your friends to our facebook event:

If you can’t come but want to help out, let us know—there’s a lot to do to make this rally a big event! See you on the 15th!
