ROBBINSVILLE, N.J. – Volunteers from Robbinsville and across Central New Jersey are coming together on Saturday to demonstrate support for the Kissan Farmer Protests in India by hosting a “Farmers Make, The World Takes” car parade rally. The movement is designed to show solidarity with farmers while bringing awareness to the issues affecting farmers in India.
For two months, thousands of farmers and Indian citizens have been gathering in large protests to oppose three anti-farmer laws that regulate the sales of certain food products.
To goal of the local rally is to show their support for farmers both domestically and internationally; explain their opposition of the farmer laws that were passed without consultation with farmers; and utilize their right to protest peacefully and how it is essential to democracy.
