Pig Business Screening in Washington DC

With just under two weeks remaining until the Capitol Hill premiere of Pig Business, Seedling Projects is putting out the call to you, the consumer to urge your Members of Congress to attend the screening and get informed on the harmful effects of factory pig farming and the benefits of its alternatives. Have your voice heard by signing our Change.org petition here.

But don’t stop there. Share the petition with anyone you know who believes a better food system is possible. And if you live in the D.C. area, attend the screening. Special guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Waterkeeper Alliance) will introduce the film, followed by a Q & A and panel discussion moderated by Kennedy with Kathy Ozer (National Family Farm Coalition), Dr. Michael Greger (The Humane Society), and Andrew Kimbrell (Center for Food Safety). Additional information on the screening is available on the Pig Business website.
