Contributions are needed for [EVENT NAME]
We are Breaking Ground to Let Farmers Grow Hemp!
This spring, while farmers plant their fields, activists and hemp industry leaders will be planting seeds
that will grow into the largest 8th annual Hemp History Week yet! With passage of the Farm Bill
permitting hemp trials for research at universities, and hemp bills in both the House and Senate, our
opportunity to spread the word that U.S. farmers should be growing this sustainable, nutritious, and
versatile crop has never been greater!
Hemp History Week is the largest national grassroots, education campaign to renew support for
American hemp farming. Community events are held nationwide and include volunteer-run film
screenings, educational forums, tabling, and social gatherings. Hemp History Week's theme
this year is: Breaking Ground.
Hemp to support our economy and future!
The U.S. hemp industry is reported at nearly $600 million dollars annually, but until federal law
changes, our farmers are left out! Demands for truly sustainable materials and alternatives for
farmers, have never been so great. Hemp is a renewable, green crop suitable for building materials,
food, paper, fuel, car parts, biodegradable plastics, and body care.
