RFA Needs Your Support & Solidarity in DC!!!
In another historic show of solidarity, U.S. recreational and commercial fishermen will gather at Upper Senate Park in Washington DC on March 21, 2012 starting at noon in an organized demonstration supporting sensible reform of the Magnuson Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act.
A rally on February 24, 2010, under a United We Fish™ banner, brought some 5,000 recreational, commercial and party/charter vessel owners and folks in associated businesses from all over the country to Washington. More than two dozen members of the Senate and the House of Representatives took time out from their busy schedules to address the crowd.
The March 21 rally is being billed as Keep Fishermen Fishing, and once again unites the commercial and recreational sectors under one common message, “reform Magnuson now.” Organizers say there were more than 40 chartered buses filled with rally participants in 2010, and efforts are currently underway to pack charter buses again for 3-21-12.
