ACTIVISM / ACTIONISM

-- TAKE ACTION ON FARM BILL
The deadline on the 2007--Now 2008--Farm Bill has 
been a moving target, but the conference 
committee is currently set to conclude its work 
soon. We need as many e-mails as soon as possible 
to urge Congress to pass a Farm Bill that 
increases funding for organic, transition to 
organic, and nutrition programs, rather than 
simply more subsidies for corporate welfare and 
biofuels.. Please click here to take action now:
