New Jersey Raw Milk Bill  

(A743 / S2702) Hearing in Trenton 

Monday, December 12 at 10:30 am  

This is our last hurdle -- if we don't make it happen now it may be a long time before the bill comes up again. If we succeed now, raw milk can be a reality for NJ.

 

PLEASE COME SUPPORT RAW MILK !

We need to show overwhelming support for this critical legislation. It's a very moving experience to be part of the legislative process for something that is so important to us. A big crowd lets the legislature know this is a vital issue -- please bring supporters with you.

 

This is a key time to persuade senators -- please arrive by 10am, dress conservatively, and bring written testimony to submit to the committee. Family and children are welcome and their presence is helpful.

 

Be sure to bring ID (drivers license or other photo ID) so you can get a visitor pass at the guard desk inside the building. (You can sign in your family as the accompanying adult.)
