Food Crisis
CRISIS--Getting Food To People In Need
Farms across the country have lost their markets due to covid19, causing the closing of restaurants, etc., and farmers have had to destroy thousands of gallons of milk and literally tons of vegetables and fruits in recent days.
And in the past 6 weeks, 30 million Americans have filed for unemployment and many people now urgently need help obtaining food to feed themselves and their families.
We need a national effort ASAP coordinated by the federal government to pay farmers for their crops and then distribute to food banks and other organizations throughout the country. Please sign this petition demanding that Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, House of Representatives Agriculture Committee Chairman Rep. Collin Peterson and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Senator Pat Roberts, and Ranking Member Senator Debbie Stabenow develop an effective coordinated plan to get much needed food to those in need. Farmers and people in need will benefit.
There is no time to waste.

Why is this important?
People are hurting financially and many are in need of food now. Farmers need a market for food that is now going to waste. Let's help hungry people and the farmers who grow our food!
