Our newest project, Farms Not Arms, was created by PRA chairman Michael O'Gorman after he realized that farmers were not represented among the voices from labor, veterans and other groups speaking out in the name of peace.The organization made its national debut in April '06 at the national march against the war in New York, New York.



Co-chairs Michael O (left) and Will Allan gathered with PRA alumni from New York including Kathy Connors, Jan Mundo, Susan Wallace and family, and several others, joining forces with Thomas Hupp and Ramon Bloomfield from Tennessee to carry PRA banners and man our booth passing out literature about Farms Not Arms and our current billboard campaign. The FNA banner was one of the most colorful things in the parade and drew a lot of attention by photographers.

from Ramon:
Just to add a little to the new york trip, first off I'd like to thank everyone who made it possible. I'm really glad we got to go. the march was nice. I would have liked to see and hear a little more music. Evan brought his drum which was great we only could of used about 100 more. The feeling I got was people are looking for another way. The corporate world has lost its shine. It felt like people are ready for change not only in the white house but in their everyday lives. Farm not arms was a big hit. When you get 300,000 people together, you got to dance and sing. Any way it was a great trip and I look forward to many more. Bonnarroo is next, where we will have a PeaceRoots tent.
