Dear members, supporters and friends,
 
In three days, people in all 50 states will sit down to share a meal and bend the direction
of history just a little bit. Together, we are publicly rejecting the
notion that our schools can’t afford to feed kids anything but the
bad food that makes them sick. And the way we’re making this statement
is by bringing neighbors together in the spirit of good will and for
the joy of sharing good food. That is the heart of our movement. 
 
Attend an Eat-In on Labor
Day. There are 296 taking place in cities and towns across
America. On our web site, you can search for Eat-Ins by state and find
one near you.  
 
If there isn’t one in your
area, sign up to host your own: all you need to do is
gather with friends for a Labor Day potluck, take a photo (the more
creative, the better) and send it to us to show your support. If enough
people sign up today, we’ll pass the 300 mark and our message will
be even stronger. 
 
This is the first National Day of Action
that Slow Food USA has organized, and thought-leaders in the food movement
say that’s a significant milestone. Last week, Michael Pollan joined
Slow Food USA president Josh Viertel on a conference call with chapter
leaders and Eat-In organizers. Below is a link to several audio clips to hear what he
and Josh had to say about the food movement “getting ready for prime
time."

It's time for lunch! Attend an Eat-In on Labor Day.
 
Thank you,
