Following up on our popular summer series, Chewing on Food Justice, Pursue invites you to continue your learning with us with a focus on the upcoming Farm Bill debates. If you have no idea what the Farm Bill is, fear not!
On January 30th, we’ll be taking on the Farm Bill, answering questions and generating discussion about what it is, why it matters, how it affects your life and the communities you care about, and what you can do to help influence it. We’ll also hear about the Jewish community’s collective effort to present a united front for a just Farm Bill and learn how you can add your voice to the campaign (starting now).
The event will feature American Jewish World Service’s very own Director of Advocacy, Timi Gerson. Timi is a force to be reckoned with and has a wealth of information to share about the upcoming Farm Bill. We’re thrilled that she’ll be joining us all the way from DC. So mark your calendars and be sure not to miss this wonderful opportunity to hear from one of the fiercest advocates on the hill.
Date: Monday, January 30th
Time: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Place: Sixth Street Community Center
Address: 638 Sixth Street, between Avenues B & C

In the next few months Congress will pass a new farm bill. A new farm bill is atefrcd every five years. The one we get this year will profoundly affect the very fabric of our society. Ite2€™s a good idea to keep an eye on it.
