To: The United States House of Representatives
Tell Congress to reject the new Farm Bill and stop Big Ag from destroying our food system!
Dear Representative,
I urge you to reject the Farm Bill that was released last month. This bill doubles down on a failing food system that harms our health, decimates soil and pollinators, pollutes our water, and leaves us vulnerable to climate chaos.
We need to move beyond this antiquated Farm Bill that spends billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize environmentally destructive commodity crops that feed factory farms and junk food companies.
Instead of this Farm Bill, I urge you to support the Food and Farm Act. This alternative bill will help U.S. farmers produce abundant, healthy food while reducing pesticide use and protecting our soil, water, climate, and pollinators. It will help local and regional farmers grow healthy fruits and vegetables for our schools and invest in the research farmers and ranchers need to be more resilient to climate change. It will also prevent tax dollars from subsidizing animal waste facilities built by factory farms and require that farmers protect our water and soils in exchange for the generous crop insurance and farm subsidies that taxpayers provide.
Please stand up for our food system and reject the Farm Bill and any amendments that undermine critical protections for our food system, environment, and communities.
Thank you,

Why is this important?
Last month, Republicans in Congress unveiled their Farm Bill. This bill would be a disaster for our food system. It would harm our environment and public health. And it would allow pesticide companies to keep poisoning bees and butterflies.
This bill is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Ag. We need your help to push your Representative to reject it!
