[Peacectr_list] Food & Medicine on MPR Today

[Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine]

Food AND Medicine featured on Maine Public Radio today
(you can hear it below)

A big reason we got coverage is due to the Solidarity contributions 
that the Bucksport mill and others have given to laid off workers. 
This solidarity on the part of so many, gives Food AND Medicine the 
opportunity to put up another point of view - that working people 
matter.

You can join in recognizing those people who formed the bucket 
brigades and have raised over $80,000 by coming to the May Day 
celebration (on Sunday, April 27th). See details below.
