Plate of the Union, which is a call to our next president for action on food and farms, would like to invite you to attend our Presidential Picnic event hosted by Real Food Student Group at The Ohio State University this Tuesday, September 20, 2016, 4:30-8pm. The event will feature Good Food Advocate and Celebrity Chef Tom Colicchio, Dara Cooper, Co-Founder of National Black Food & Justice Alliance and HEAL Food Alliance, as well as local Farmers, Food Activists, and Food Workers.    Here is the link to the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/965613770232265/. Please share! (Pass along to your co-workers, underlings, overlings, acquaintances, partners, friends, and social media groups.)

  Do keep an eye out for our Plate of the Union Food Truck that will be in Columbus for the rest of that week (~September 20-24) http://www.plateoftheunion.com/food-truck-tour/, and please reply to this email if you and your group is interested in attending or partnering with us on other Columbus events.

A little background: Plate of the Union is collaborative initiative by the HEAL Food Alliance, Food Policy Action Education Fund, and Union of Concerned Scientists. The purpose of the campaign is to unite and amplify the voices of Americans who care about food and farm systems so that our presidential candidates understand the need for food and farm system reform and take steps to achieve that reform.
