On the Moove…With a Little Help from Our Friends
When we embarked on this road trip several days ago, we expected to meet great people along the way. However, we had no idea what was in store. On every corner and sidewalk, while petitioning and asking folks to call their Senators, we continually meet fantastic people. Each time we stop into a restaurant, hotel, and B&B, we encounter friendly faces.
Over the last two days, we have been aided and inspired by our coalition partners. Karen Hansen from the Ohio Conference on Fair Trade was a lifesaver at the North Market Food and Wine Festival. We met over a cup of coffee, and before we could say ‚Healthy School Milk or Bust,” she was up and running, asking the folks at the next table to sign a postcard.
Then today she joined us again for a meeting with Senator Brown‚ staff, along with Ellen Mee and Joe Logan from the Ohio Environmental Council. It was phenomenal to have Ellen and Joe in the meeting, as theyve worked on rBGH and agricultural issues in the state for years.
The meeting was a great success, and we were thrilled to have media cover the event. Prior to entering Senator Brown‚ office, local NPR affiliate WOSU interviewed Alex and Joe. Check the clip out here.
Tomorrow, we head north to Ann Arbor. There, we look forward to spreading the word on school milk. You know what they say, ‚what‚ good for the goose, is good for the Michigander.”
