May All Be Fed! Farmer Action
Description
We are farmers and eaters committed to taking care of the earth and each other. We believe that all people deserve access to nutritious, affordable food, all farmworkers deserve peace and safety, and we all deserve to thrive. Join us for a farmer-led action!
When: Thursday, June 26th at 5:30pm
Where: 193 North Main St., White River Junction, VT 05001 at the Upper Valley Food Co-op Parking Lot. (Big thanks to UVFC for generously hosting!)
Parking: We want to leave plenty of space for co-op shoppers, so please park at the Bugbee Senior Center at 262 N Main St. (Big thanks to Bugbee!) There’s also street parking available.
What: In the face of SNAP cuts, cuts to some of our most impactful farm programs, and continued raids on farmworkers and immigrants, farmers are speaking out–for food security and investing in the farmer-led food systems we all deserve, and in solidarity with farmworkers. We’ll share a delicious potluck because we are committed to feeding each other and living out the story of the long-handled spoons! (Thanks to King Arthur, the UVFC, and the Hanover Co-op for contributing!) And we'll take action together.
