Vegan Earth Day – Stronger Than Ever!
FARM mailed out 130 Earth Day Packs complete with handouts, stickers, sign-up sheets and more. We also mailed out Literature Packs, for a total of 20,000 handouts distributed at Earth Day activities. FARM staff conducted outreach in
Washington, D.C. at the massive Green Apple Earth Day Festival on the National Mall… and
rainstorms didn’t dampen our spirits! FARM staffers distributed information, held signs, collected Earth Day
Veg Pledge sign-ups, and also volunteered at the 11th Hour table. Find out more about our Bite Global Warming campaign.
