While actions such as growing organic food & buying from local farmers are vital, we cannot grow or shop our way out of the problems with our agricultural and food system. For organic agriculture to become more than a niche, we need changes in government policies at every level. And to do that, we need people to engage effectively! Come learn about how you can be an effective voice for yourself, healthy food, and your community, helping to change policies in our state and beyond.

Doors at 6, panel starts at 7! Don't forget to bring seeds and plants to swap afterwards.

If you can't make it in person we will also be streaming the event via YouTube and zoom.
