[TheUWfarm] Farm Bill! Act now! Sign a postcard today, rally at Pike Place Market Tuesday

Hey everybody! Read on, this is important...

The largest piece of U.S. farming legislation - the Farm Bill - is about to emerge, and it's time to have our voices heard! Here's how:

1. Sign a postcard by Tuesday, November 22nd, by 11am. There is a pile of postcards in the Farm Cabinet (in the Botany Greenhouse) with a message asking Senator Patty Murray to support a Farm Bill that works to sustain small farms, healthy communities, and a clean environment. Fill out your name and address, then leave the postcard in the box, and it will be hand-delivered at the rally and meeting below.

2. Come to a rally. This Tuesday, November 22nd, the Northwest Farm Bill Action Group will hold a rally and meeting with Senator Patty Murray's King County Director to ask for a Farm Bill that works for small farms, healthy communities, and a clean environment.

When:
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2:00 PM

Where:
Pike Place Market, Seattle
Rally at Victor Steinbrueck Park
2001 Western Avenue
(Grassy knoll at the north end of Pike Place Market near Virginia St.)

How:
A small group will discuss our policy priorities with Senator Murray's King County Director while strolling together through Pike Place Market. At the same time, a rally will be taking place at the north end of the market withe the same goals in mind. The small group will join the rally, where all will present the County Director with hundreds of signed postcards from farmer and urban constituents as well as a poster with messages from Washington farmers.
