Hi Backyard Hen Supporters,
I wanted to let you know that the Kojo Namdi Show (WAMU 88.5) will be focusing on the growing Backyard Hen movement around the country tomorrow (Thursday) from 12:00 to 1:00. They will be interviewing Pat Foreman, the author of City Chicks, as well as an urban farmer from Brooklyn and myself. Let your friends know. It should be a good program. If you can’t listen to it live, you can always stream it online after the show.
In early June we’ll be setting up tables at a few farmers’ markets around the city to collect more petition signers. As a special treat, elementary school kids from 5 classes in Capitol Hill will be showing off their recently hatched chicks and talking about what they’ve learned by hatching and raising chicks. We’re looking for more volunteers to help man the tables for two hour shifts. Let me know if you want to participate and we’ll find a time and place that works for you.
Other good news on the chicken front is that we’re meeting with the Mayor’s Office next week to talk about how to move our legislative changes forward. We’ll let you know what comes out of that meeting.
Thanks,
Caryn
