Critical Food Safety Vote in less than 24 hours!

We urge everyone out there who has not already contacted our Senators to please do fist thing in the morning! The future of small family farms and local food is at stake! On Nov. 17, the Senate is finally set to vote on the controversial bill (s.510), and small-scale and organic farmers urgently need two important amendments so the new regulations don’t place huge financial burdens on small farmers. Without these two important amendments — currently opposed by all the big names in agribusiness — small farmers will not be protected from inappropriate regulations meant to curtail the largest and most likely culprits of food safety outbreaks in the U.S.: giant, consolidated agribusinesses and their massive processing partners. Senator Harry Reid contact number: (202) 224-3542; Senator John Ensign contact number: (202) 224-6244

TRANSITION RENO & EnAcT Present: 10/10/10 – The Great Unleashing. The Great Unleashing is a one-day event on the 10 of October, 2010, that will engage a collective response to a transition away from fossil fuels into a localized, resilient community.
