2014 Citizen Activism Workshop November 10-11, 2014 Austin, TX 78754 The local food movement is growing by leaps and bounds, but so is the opposition to it. From local zoning conflicts to burdensome state and federal regulations, we need more people across the country — both farmers and consumers — to speak up! Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA) is offering a two-day Citizen Activism Workshop to help you learn how to be effective in speaking up on the issues that matter to you, whether it’s as part of a larger group like FARFA or leading the charge at the local level. The knowledge and information you will gain will help you make good use of your valuable time and have a greater impact. Citizen Lobby Day 2013Do you care about what’s happening with our food system, but you’re not sure where to start? Ever wondered which elected official you needed to call to take action on an issue or what to say to the person on the other end of the phone line when you do call? Already done some activism work and want to learn more about how to be really effective and make a significant impact? If any of these describe you, then check out the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance’s two-day intensive training on how to be an effective citizen activist! Our system only works when people become involved. And every person counts. FARFA regularly lobbies at both the state and federal level, and an essential part of our mission is providing educational resources for people affected by government farm and food policies, empowering them to speak up on behalf of themselves. The workshop takes place at the historic Barr Mansion, and the $40 registration includes lunch on both days, prepared from scratch by their in-house catering using the best quality organic & local ingredients. Scholarships are also available! See registration info below.
