SUMMARY:Enough is Enough Tour
DESCRIPTION:FARMERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH\n\n\n\n\nFarmers and ranchers are gathering to protest government policies that favor the largest food industry giants as the national “Enough Is Enough Tour” surges across the U.S. this spring. \nWith Congress preparing to debate the farm bill during prime planting and calving season\, restricting farmers’ and ranchers’ ability to bring their voices to Washington D.C.\, farm groups will gather at events in six states to call on Congress to deliver a bill that levels the playing field. \nThe Enough Is Enough Tour is a unified platform for farmers and ranchers to voice the disastrous impacts of the current system on their lives and livelihoods\, and to demand reforms that bring prosperity and fair competition to agriculture. The tour is endorsed by 16 farm organizations and sponsored and organized by Farm Action and Farm Action Fund. \n\nTour events will take place across the country\, hosted by grassroots and national organizations representing the interests of our nation’s food producers. On Wednesday\, May 29\, the Tour will stop in Columbiana\, Ohio. A complimentary lunch will be served. REGISTRATION REQUIRED (see link below).
