Teach-In: Who Controls What You Eat?
Why do some people in DC have access to healthy food and others don't? How do biotechnology and chemicals in farming affect the environment and our health? How do the government, big agribusiness, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization hurt small farmers in the US and worldwide? What are people doing about all this?
Find out about these issues, and share your insights and organizing strategies on how to address them, at a teach-in sponsored by Mobilization for Global Justice. Brief presentations by speakers will be followed by a lot of time for discussion on Thursday, June 2, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at All Souls Unitarian Church (1500 Harvard St. NW). For more information, send an e-mail.
