Hi all,
I am excited to invite you to
Mighty Earth's 2018 World Water Day forum.
Please join dozens of concerned citizens from across NWA this Thursday, as we
discuss the detrimental impact of the ag industry on our clean water, and
highlight tactics for addressing this problem.
Just this month, Tyson was fined
$2 million for the shocking and catastrophic spill they caused in Missouri--a
spill so damaging that 100,000 fish died immediately and washed up onto the
shore.
We will use our World Water Day forum to
share tactics and strategies for compelling Tyson to clean up their
practices.
Sign-up HERE to join us!
WHEN: Thursday, March 22,
6:30 PM
WHERE: Farrell's Lounge, 311 W. Dickson St., Fayetteville
WHY: Learn how to campaign for
some big changes from Tyson
SPEAKERS:
· Denise
Deason-Toyne, president of Save the IL River
· Guy Ames,
sustainable farmer and activist

Join Mighty Earth on World Water Day, as we
hold our largest corporations accountable and call on them to protect our
rivers and oceans. The need for clean, safe water has never been as pressing as
it is now. Yet large companies such as Tyson continue to engage in polluting
practices that imperil our water quality and our health.
In just the first half of this
decade, Tyson Foods dumped 104 million pounds of toxic waste into our
waterways--more than any other food company in the nation.
And the pollution is not abating.
Just this month, Tyson was fined over $2 million for a spill in Missouri that
killed 100,000 fish.
As the nation's largest meat
producer, Tyson has the ability to move markets and shape our ag system. Join us on
World Water Day to learn about how to hold Tyson accountable and work to win
some big changes.
