Re: Minnesota Food Freedom Rally - child care

[Guest guest]

Another thought on the child care. I know people don't often want to give their

children to a stranger in a strange house some time, though really we're very

friendly:). Maybe a few of us who can't go could watch other kids at a public

place like a park near the events or a community gyms with open play hours, or

there are museums or recreational facilities (trampolines/climbing gyms).

I can't give money to the cause and my 1 year old is too much a mamma's boy to

go to someone else, but I'd like to help out if I can.

Deborah, I am also in Crystal!

I have the same fears as you, that my 1-year-old struggles to hang around with

daddy when I'm around--much less another person. My 4-year-old on the other

hand, would have a blast hanging out with other kids. I would also be willing

to meet at a public place, or at someone's home, and help out with childcare if

someone was wanting to attend. I just don't think it would go well leaving my

babe with someone he's never met.

I just wanted to throw this out there - from what I understand, children

are welcome at this event. If entering the court room they will need some

quiet games to keep them occupied - but I am planning on taking my kids,

and I know other moms are planning to do so as well.

I think having a presence of children is an awesome message to send!

Especially children who are healthy and happy!

And we have lots of cute rally signs for the little ones

I am bringing my 4 & 2 year olds. They will roll and if they don't we'll hop out

for a bit. But it will still be impact.

Thanks for stepping forward in whatever capacity you can. Each mama knows her

kids best -- and we each want to safeguard food freedom for their benefit. So

yay for all doing the most we can!!
