San Jose was the second-to-last stop for the Farm to Fridge Tour. We held the Outreach Event in downtown San Jose and had a fantastic turnout of volunteers. We handed out tons of leaflets and received lots of honks from drivers in support of our message signs.
For the evening Video Event, we set up in Palo Alto, which is a city about 20 minutes outside of San Jose. Palo Alto is more of a college town and has a lot of people still out and about later at night. We parked the truck right near a square where people like to come and just hang out with friends. While many were hanging out, they were shown the horrific realities of factory farming. Many in the audience stayed and watched Farm to Fridge multiple times. I still love seeing the impact this film has on people! It is so powerful!
I spoke with a couple of people who told me the local NPR radio station discussed our events and Farm to Fridge. I also spoke to a radio host at the People's Radio, a local FM radio station, who told me he had brought up the events and Farm to Fridge on the air repeatedly for a couple of weeks. What an amazing success in San Jose!
