DESCRIPTION:What?\n\nThe movement to create healthy communities begins with 
 appreciation. We want to create a day where we not only express gratitude 
 to the hardworking people who put food on our plates, but also educate the 
 community about the connections between food, climate change, and 
 health.\n\nThe goal of the day is to bring together youth, farmworkers, 
 community leaders, local organizations, businesses, and public officials to 
 celebrate farmworkers, while creating a platform for the Central Coast 
 community to raise their voices around issues that support the 
 environmental, economic, and physical health of the Central Coast region, 
 the farmworkers, and their community.\n\nThere will be live music, free 
 food, healthy cooking demonstrations, education and speakers from community 
 based organizations, and lots of love, goods, and support for 
 farmworkers!\n\nWhen and Where?\n\nThe event will be held on Sunday, June 
 15th 2014, (Father's Day) at Closter Park in Salinas, CA 
 11-3pm\n\nBackground\n\nAs part of the Follow the Food Campaign, 
 spearheaded by Alliance for Climate Education Student Organizers, the 
 students decided to create a day for the community to express gratitude to 
 the hardworking people who put food on our plates, while also providing 
 education about the connections between food, climate change, and health. 
 \n\nAlliance for Climate Education hosted a series of Youth Action Labs for 
 Central Coast and Bay Area high schools students to connect the dots 
 between food, climate change, and health called Follow the Food. The 
 Central Coast students from Salinas, Watsonville, and Gonzalez, CA wanted 
 to create a Central Coast Farmworker Appreciation Day as a solution to 
 these issues. \n\nWhy?\n\nClimate Change affects our Food System and our 
 Health. We also see economic issues linked to worker's rights and 
 immigration. \n\nCo-Sponsored by: Alliance for Climate Education, Community 
 Food and Justice Coalition, ALBA farms, Building Healthy Communities 
 -Salinas, Facilitating Power, Teatro Alisal\n\nFor further inquires or to
