   By now you've all seen the profile of PJA's food justice work on the cover of this past week's Jewish Journal. If you haven't, check it out here! Along with recent coverage in the LA Times and on CNN, this recent piece continues our record of bringing the issue of food deserts to the public.
RALLY CANCELLED
Join PJA and our allies in the Alliance for Healthy and Responsible Grocery Stores for a press conference and action featuring elected officials, community and clergy leaders. We will debut our new grading system for local Grocery chains, evaluating them on how equitably they service neighborhoods across the city, as well their labor standards and the environmental impact on neighborhoods where they locate.
This is a great opportunity to demonstrate the community's power and demand for a responsible grocery industry in anticipation of City Council's vote on the Grocery Reinvestment Ordinance this summer. Next Economic Justice Working Group MeetingMonday June 14 at 6:30 pm Come help with the last minute preparations for the action and get an update on the state of the campaign at our next Economic Justice Working Group meeting (RSVP to jmatz@pjalliance.org for location and details)
