Do today's issues, including hunger and climate change, seem overwhelming? Learn how you can make a difference at a free advocacy workshop! You'll learn the basics of advocacy, hear a brief overview of the hunger and environmental aspects of the Farm Bill, and practice active hope by writing a note to tell an elected official what you think on whatever issues matter to you.
Speakers include (above, left to right) former Nebraska State Senator Patty Pansing Brooks; John Hansen, President of Nebraska Farmers Union; Eric Gerrard, American Communications Group, Inc; and Michaella Kumke, President and CEO, Food Bank of Lincoln.
