Food Day 2011 Is Here!

This morning, Strategic Alliance’s Juliet Sims spoke on the steps of San Francisco’s City Hall, highlighting the growing momentum for healthy and equitable food systems and the leading role the state has played in advancing healthy food policy. This was just one of the thousands of events taking place throughout the country—in homes, schools, churches, farmers’ markets, city halls, and state capitals—as people are calling attention to the food issues that matter to them.

And the day isn’t over yet. There are still plenty of opportunities to take action and get involved.
