On Tuesday, April 5, concerned citizens around the country are calling on Congress to reform the Farm Bill in 2012.
What is the Farm Bill? It is the clearest example of special interests distorting American democracy. Indeed, nearly every major American newspaper and advocacy groups from all sides of the political spectrum, from the Heritage Foundation to the Sierra Club, recognize that the Farm Bill causes widespread damage to America's land, economy, health, culture, and international standing.
Protests are happening in Austin, Boston, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Ithaca, New York; Princeton, New Jersey; Meadville, Pennsylvania; Northfield, Minnesota; Walla Walla, Washington; and Providence, Rhode Island!
Join us in Providence: Burnside Park (next to Kennedy Plaza) at 4:30-5:30 pm.
