>> Food Activists and City Officials Being Recruited to Bring Food  
>> Access to All
>>
>> Dear Seattle?s food-activists, writers, news reporters, and  
>> supportive city officials,
>>
>> Thank you to all you passionate people working on food related  
>> -policies, programs, and issues.?? Thank you for your time and energy  
>> towards the many great farmers markets, restaurants, garden/farmer  
>> support, and the local food movement in general.
>>
>> Spring into Bed? (http://springintobed.org/ is a grass-roots garden  
>> building effort and evening celebration to:
>>
>> ?????????
>> ?Support the effort to build our city?s food infrastructure- we want  
>> to add acres in small plots.
>>
>> ?????????
>> Support people of low income?s ability to grow good, healthy, and  
>> super-local food.
>>
>> ?????????
>> Connect people, organizations, and businesses ?(to get things done in  
>> over the long-term)
>>
>> Spring into Bed is a ?Fun-Run? about supporting at minimum 10  
>> gardeners with low incomes build gardens.?? However, rather than  
>> raising money for cancer research, we are working to prevent  
>> cancer--caused by poor food access--in the first place. ??
>>
>> For anyone who is fond of the work of Will Allen-- ? Stop talking and  
>> do something within 3 months? -- there? is an event this Spring that  
>> requests your support .? On May 8th organizations in Portland and  
>> Olympia are both building 10 gardens on the day so Seattle can at  
>> least match that, right??
>>
>> This is an opportunity for direction action--captains are needed who  
>> will help fund-raise and help build the gardens the day of the event.  
>> ?$1000 will build a set of 3 raised beds and help another 3 get built  
>> in the future.?? Seattle Tilth is serving as fiscal sponsor, so all  
>> donations are tax deductable (just ask your accountant).? So far The  
>> Garden Project and Cascadian Edible Landscapes??have stepped up to be  
>> captains.? For anyone considering being a captain, throwing a couple  
>> of parties or asking friends, families, or neighbors to support the  
>> cause goes a long way.?????
>>
>> Mayor McGinn thanks for your donation of seeds towards the event and  
>> for supporting a food bank garden on city hall.?? Council President  
>> Conlin- Thank you for working on the Local Food Action Initiative and  
>> thank you for (helping ) declare 2010 Year of Urban Agriculture. ?I?d  
>> like to invite you, your offices, and friends to captain a Food  
>> Justice garden bed.?? Additionally, it would be really helpful if  
>> ?you could help secure a donation of minimum 30 yards of Cedar Grove  
>> Compost and up to 150 cubic yards; we?ll ?have to collectively figure  
>> out where to store it.
>>
>> If championing the cause is not your thing, you can still commit to  
>> contributing to local-food security on your own or with your  
>> neighbors.? Choose your adventure and be sure to report how many  
>> square feet you build on May 8th and then come to the PARTY!  
>> ??www.Springintobed.org
>> Happy Planting and See you on May 8
