Yesterday, we delivered more than 1000 letters from Marylanders and a letter from local, state, and national organizations asking Governor Hogan to pass stronger regulations for antibiotics used in animal agriculture.
Emily Scarr from Maryland PIRG and Dr. Pat McLaine from the Maryland Nurses Association did a great job! And many thanks to everyone who braved the heat and humidity from Fair Farms Maryland, Maryland Votes for Animals, Maryland Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Clean Water Action, in addition to Maryland PIRG and Maryland Nurses Association.
Here’s an article in the Southern Maryland Online about the event. And another one from the Cumberland Times-News. And another one from the Center for Infectious Disease Research Policy. And another one from the Annapolis Patch.
Here’s the video of the event from Maryland PIRG’s Facebook page.
