Food freedom is the real issue when two activist groups meet to share their food in Washington, D.C., at Noon on Saturday, August 18.  The Raw Milk Freedom Riders and Lemonade Freedom Day will celebrate their right to “voluntary exchange.”  The rally was inspired by recent shut downs of children’s lemonade stands and swat-style raids on farmers.  The mothers and other activists will meet for a peaceful picnic that will feature the forbidden foods–raw milk and lemonade.

Organizers of the gathering are Robert Fernandes, Founder of Lemonade Freedom Day; Liz Reitzig, co-founder of Farm Food Freedom Coalition; and Eddie Free, National Individual Rights Activist.

Speakers for the event:

Max Kane, Currently fighting state of Wisconsin for the right to private contract
Derrick J, National Freedom Activist recently jailed for his peaceful activism
Pete Eyre, co-founder copblock.org
John Moody, Successfully challenged the state of Kentucky over private buying club rights.
Kristin Canty, Producer, Farmageddon the movie
Kathryn Dill, Liberty Activist

National Lemonade Freedom Day began after multiple news reports about children’s lemonade stands being shut down due to restrictive regulations.  The FDA has instigated and funded several undercover sting operations and swat-style raids on family farmers and buying clubs over raw milk.

Where and When:

The groups will meet on 3rd Street S.W. between Maryland and Jefferson near the Capitol Reflecting Pool, Washington, D.C., Saturday, August 18, 2012, at 12 Noon.
