January 13th "Food Assembly" gathering

[Mariah SDFNL]

Folks, if you haven't heard yet, there's a great food justice get-together happening THIS SUN @ 3:30...

People attending range from completely new to food (let alone the justice issues) to seasoned community organizers. ALL welcome and encouraged to attend. AND groups/org's (food justice related) are invited to bring info to share (there will be a table for flyers etc).

The flyer is attached, but there's also a lovely short newsletter in PDF you can download (link below) that introduces the "food assembly" idea.

Hope to see you Sun!
