Hello friends! 

The 1in10 Coaltion (grassroots local food policy group) has pulled together with great partners to bring a series of excellent Farm Bill events. I've been helping plan them and am pretty excited about the potential for San Diego to continue on the path for food justice.

Please check out the info, share with friends, and join us! They are coming up quick! The one Tues night includes food too (yum!). The flyers are available online at www.sdfoodpolicy.org

If you have any questions, let me know.
