Pig Business: free screening at 6pm on Wed, March 9

Sustainable food advocates believe this event could go a long way toward educating people on the Hill about the many negative effects of industrialized farming.

Some of you may be interested in attending and helping to spread the word.  Even if you cannot make it it would be a great help if you would urge your own Congressperson (or his/her staff) to attend.

Be forewarned, the film is graphic.
