march with east bay farmers this earth day

Posted: April 13 2012

 On April 22nd, Bay area farmers, community gardeners, and families will gather for a day of education and action that highlights our relationship to the Earth, the land, and the food we grow from it.  This year, we will march for "Food sovereignty", the right of communities to their own healthy, local, sustainably grown food.

Our demand for food sovereignty is an acknowledgement that our plate and our planet are more often controlled by international markets and corporate profits than what's best for our collective health.  We invite you to march in solidarity with the farmers and gardeners who grow food for our community, and for your own right to nutritious food, seed, and soil.
* Activist Guest Speakers * Children's Activities * Music * Farmer's Bloc: tractors, animals, overalls, oh yeah! *
