“I live in St. Paul, but grew up in rural MN, and feel a sense of urgency in connecting folks in the metro to our farm and food system. There are so many people, just like me, who move into the cities after growing up in rural areas but hold care and concern for their hometowns. Online actions are a great way for myself and others to stay connected to this work and raise awareness about the critical moment we’re in for agriculture and for our rural communities.”
-Mary Voight, St. Paul
Power is the ability to influence decisions to achieve a desired outcome; power is our ability to make change. One way to build power is through large numbers of people making their voices heard and we can do this through online action alerts and petitions.
Having emails flood the inboxes of elected officials or delivering a long list of supporters to their office, shows them that this issue is important and that they need to pay attention. You can be a part of bringing about democratic action and change through completing an action alert of signing a petition, today!
