Cymraeg This Halloween, Saturday 31st October, the Landworkers’ Alliance is calling on our membership and network to support an action to protect British food standards as the Agriculture Bill returns to the House of Commons on 4th November.
You can read more about the Agriculture Bill and Trade Amendment here and here. We are asking MPs to support Amendment 16B ‘Duty to seek equivalence on agri-food standards in relation to future trade’.
To gain support for this, we are planning to use 1000 pumpkins to spell out, ‘SAVE OUR STANDARDS,’ at an undisclosed location in central London. This visual stunt will help us raise the profile of the campaign and create a powerful and impactful statement that we hope can get some important media coverage of this issue. Carrying this action out is going to require a committed team to be London on Saturday the 31st of October. If you can be in London to support with this action on this date, contact Humphrey for details on humphreylandworkersalliance@gmail.com
If you can’t make it to London we want you to join in with our campaign – just carve your own pumpkin with SOS (for Save Our Standards), and share it on social media through your channels using the hashtag #SaveOurStandards. You can tag us on Facebook (@LandworkersAlliance), on Twitter (@LandworkersUK) and Instagram (@landworkersalliance) and we’ll share the images. We also want you to tweet or email your MP with the image and our Myth-Busting document that addresses many of the reasons MPs voted against the amendment. You can find and email your MP easily using this link or here.
