May 1: Join Rural Vermont at the Put People First! One Movement for People and the Planet March

By Rural Vermont

Hi Rural Vermonters and Friends,

I am writing to invite you to march with Rural Vermont at the “Put People First” rally this Tuesday [May 1 at noon, in Montpelier]. As a supporter of Rural Vermont’s recent campaigns of Labeling GMO’s or the Vermonters Feeding Vermonters campaigns you realize that in order to build a strong movement to overcome our obstacles we will need to join forces with others, so Rural Vermont is proud to be teaming up with the Vermont Workers Center:

Put People First! One Movement for People and the Planet

Tuesday, May 1st  12 Noon

Meet at City Hall, Main Street, MONTPELIER    

We’re joining forces with The Vermont Workers Center and many other social and economic justice organizations to carry a unified message to our elected leaders that it’s essential to make public policy decisions and allocate public resources for the benefit of the people and the planet.

March alongside Rural Vermont and show your support for Vermonters Feeding Vermonters by wearing your farming/gardening garb, and bringing a farm implement and sign (“Power to the Farmers!” ~ “Eating is an Agricultural Act!” ~ “Let Vermonters Feed Vermonters!” You get the idea … get creative!).

Arrive at City Hall at 12 noon and look for the Rural Vermont signs and huddle. For more info or to RSVP for the Rural Vermont contingent, contact  Robb or call the office at (802) 223-7222.

In Freedom and Unity,

Robb Kidd

Rural Vermont Organizer
