The National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (NICFA) and FRESH are sponsoring a special screening of FRESH for our legislators.
Has FRESH inspired you? It will also inspire those who make our laws.
The food safety bill is in front of the Senate right now. FRESH will educate our legislators on the benefits of a local food system threatened by S 510. Let's get our Senators and Representatives there so they can see and understand the unintended consequences S 510 would have on our small farms.
WHEN: Friday May 21, 2010, 4:30 pm -6:30 pm
WHERE: Rayburn House Office Building Foyer
WHAT: Special screening of FRESH for legislators and staff
Ana Joanes, FRESH Director and Producer, and star Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms will introduce the movie, take questions after the screening and speak to legislators on the importance of preserving access to our Fresh foods and the farms those foods come from.
