Two groups of activists known as the Raw Milk Freedom Riders and Lemonade Freedom Day, are taking their raw milk and lemonade to the lawn of the US Capitol to celebrate what they call their right to “voluntary exchange.”
Recent shut downs of children’s lemonade stands and SWAT-style raids on small farmers have inspired these mothers and other activists to take their message to the Capitol where they plan to risk criminal charges, and possibly jail, by gathering for a picnic with these illicit foods.
When: Saturday, August 18, 2012 12:00 noon
Where: Lawn of the Capitol Reflecting Pool, Washington DC.
Who: Robert Fernandes, Founder Lemonade Freedom Day, Liz Reitzig, co-founder Farm Food Freedom Coalition and Eddie Free, National Individual Rights Activist.
Other Speakers include:
Max Kane, Currently fighting state of Wisconsin for the right to private contract.
Derrick J, National Freedom Activist recently jailed for his peaceful activism.
Pete Eyre, co-founder copblock.org
John Moody, Successfully challenged the state of Kentucky over private buying club rights.

Background: National Lemonade Freedom day founder, and one of the main organizers of the August event, Robert Fernandes, began the tradition after seeing multiple news reports about children’s lemonade stands being shut down because they did not comply with regulations.
These activists believe that people have the right to engage in voluntary exchange and peacefully obtain the food of their choice from the producer of their choice whether that’s raw milk from a local farmer or lemonade from the children next door.
