About Candice, Vanessa & Heath Action MA
Candice Edwards is the founder and Executive Director of Health Action, MA. Vanessa Pompeii-Britt, Attorney Advocate. Health Action Massachusetts is a 501(c)(4) non-profit dedicated to protecting medical, religious, parental, educational, and disability rights through advocacy, policy and education. Their mission is to preserve individual rights, and actively oppose legislation that threatens fundamental rights.
About the Talk
This talk will cover several high-impact proposals such as eliminating the religious exemption for K–12 school attendance, undermining parental rights in medical decision-making, and creating new barriers to accessing education and healthcare.
While the legislation is specific to Massachusetts, the implications are national. These policy trends are surfacing across the country—and what happens here could influence how similar efforts unfold in other states.
Hear how both MA residents and out-of-state advocates can make an impact, from amplifying the message on social media, to contacting national organizations, to preparing for potential large-scale actions should the legislation advance.
Venue
Tremezzo is a friendly, relaxed Italian eatery. We’ll enjoy appetizers, salad, all you can eat Neapolitan brick oven pizza (considered a healthier pizza!), including vegetarian and gluten-free (cauliflower crust) options, iced tea and wine.

This month we are deeply honored to host David Zweig, a curious and scrupulous journalist whose book is an amazing documentary history of our times. Sweeping and precise, the author is one of the few brave journalists in the country actually to attend the Great Barrington Declaration event…in person!
He has worked on this book for five years, interviewing countless scientists, writers, anonymous bureaucrats, and publishers, all with the driving purpose of trying to figure out what the heck happened to cause this disaster. All the while, he maintained an emotional distance that only a spirit of incredulity grants. The result is spectacular, a page turner that deals with a deeply painful topic but somehow ends up providing an emotional release.
The early reviews have been over the top, almost as if the country had been waiting for such a book. We are thrilled to hear from him and hear his story of the research and writing, and have him engage with our wonderful community on the meaning of it all.

This month we are excited to host Laura, whose books and many media appearances have fired up a much-needed debate about psychiatric drugs and the claims surrounding them. Her intensely biographical story is a real-life example of what research is showing: these drugs themselves can become worse than the problem they are supposed to solve.
Her book has been reviewed sometimes favorably and sometimes savagely. Regardless, it is suddenly at the center of an issue that afflicts one in four adults and many teens.

Brownstone Midwest Supper Club April 14 with Dr. Steven Templeton
2025-04-14 18:30 - 21:00 | Lennie’s, 514 E. Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN, 47408, United States
SHARE | PRINT | EMAILWe are pleased to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on April 14, 2025, featuring Dr. Steven Templeton, author of “Fear of a Microbial Planet: How a Germophobic Safety Culture Makes Us Less Safe.”
About Dr. Templeton:
Dr. Templeton is an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine – Terre Haute. His research focuses on immune responses to opportunistic fungal pathogens. He has also served on Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Public Health Integrity Committee and was a co-author of “Questions for a COVID-19 commission,” a document provided to members of a pandemic response-focused congressional committee.
About the talk:
In his talk, Dr. Templeton will examine how the Covid-19 response exemplified our culture’s excessive fear of microbes, resulting in counterproductive policies that may have caused more harm than good. He will discuss how the pandemic amplified existing germophobic tendencies in society, leading to interventions that disrupted the natural relationship between our immune systems and the microbial world. Dr. Templeton will offer insights into how we can develop more balanced and effective approaches to public health challenges without the devastating social, economic, and psychological costs of germaphobia-driven overreach.
Join us for an evening of stimulating conversation, delicious food, and community connection as we explore these vital ideas together.

Brownstone Midwest Supper Club, March 10, with Larry Howard of Maple Valley Farm
2025-03-10 18:30 - 21:30 | Lennie’s, 514 E. Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN, 47408, United States
SHARE | PRINT | EMAILReviving the Indiana Food Freedom Act and Building a National Patronage Network for Regenerative Agriculture
The future of America’s food system hinges on our ability to empower small farmers and defend the right of consumers to choose what they eat. Larry’s presentation will explore two revolutionary initiatives aimed at transforming the way we grow, distribute, and access food.
First, we’ll revisit the Indiana Food Freedom Act, a visionary piece of legislation that would protect Hoosiers’ right to obtain and contract for food without unnecessary government oversight. This law represents a bold stand against regulatory overreach, ensuring that farmers and consumers can engage in direct, informed transactions based on trust and transparency.
Next, Larry will introduce the Thriving Farms Initiative, a national effort to build a patronage network that directly supports regenerative farms. By providing cash gifts to farmers and their families, this initiative aims to catalyze the rapid growth of local, sustainable food systems. This bold approach not only accelerates the adoption of regenerative practices but also creates a model for community-supported agriculture that can be replicated nationwide.
About Larry Howard:
Larry Howard is a husband, homeschool dad, and lifelong advocate for food freedom and regenerative agriculture. With over 20 years of experience as a regenerative livestock farmer at Maple Valley Farm in Bloomington, Indiana he and his family raise cattle, sheep, pigs, meat chickens, laying hens, turkeys, and ducks, fostering a model of farming that prioritizes animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and sustainable food systems.
Larry has been a Weston A. Price chapter leader since 2005, advocating for raw milk and traditional foods, and has testified before legislators and debated with policymakers to protect Hoosiers’ right to access the foods of their choice. He drafted the Indiana Food Freedom Act, groundbreaking legislation to ensure informed individuals can freely contract with farmers and food producers without burdensome government regulation.
In 2012, he founded an innovative private ownership-based partnership that revitalized his family farm’s operations. His efforts have been highlighted in emergency trips to the statehouse with his children—who have written speeches en route—and in presentations to organizations like the Indiana Environmental Health Association.
Today, he is spearheading the Thriving Farms Initiative, a national patronage network designed to provide direct financial support to regenerative farms, fueling a grassroots revival of sustainable agriculture and food freedom across the country.

Mark wears many hats, including: attorney, athlete, artist, agricultor (that’s famer in Spanish) and advocate.
To Brownstone followers he is known as a vocal, insightful, and often entertaining, storyteller about the experiences of living through what he calls “Coronamania” as well as stories from decades of life experiences that allowed him to see and tell everyone who would listen, from March 17, 2020 forward, that the mitigation was a scam. In so doing, he has alienated nearly all of his family and friends. Brownstone has been an important way to make new ones.

“Can we ever just have a social hour instead of always having a big speaker?”
Sure, and summer time is the perfect time for that! Supper club people love just to visit.
Just in case, however, our president Jeffrey Tucker is going to speak about his discoveries concerning the economic data of our times. It seems that it is not all on the up and up. Inflation is far higher and growth far lower. We might have been in recession/depression since March 2020, based on reasonable revisions. He will explain all this. And you will feel better: it’s not just you, everyone is suffering financially.
Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun, even if some people come in fancier clothing.
This should be a wonderful event. And it’s a chance to learn about economic stuff without being bored!
