Demand Congress stop its support for factory farms!

Mega meat corporations -- like Tyson and Smithfield – pollute our air and water and subject farm animals to intolerably cruel conditions. They use cages so small chickens can’t even spread their wings. They take calves and piglets from their mothers immediately after birth.

This is no way for an animal to live, or for a company to make its money. We need your help to stop subsidizing factory farms!

Dear Member of Congress,

As your constituent, I am writing to respectfully request your support for the Farm System Reform Act (S.2332/H.R.4421). This legislation will strengthen the Packers and Stockyards Act to create a more fair and competitive livestock market, restore mandatory Country of Origin Labeling, and provide funding for a voluntary buyout to enact a just transition away from industrial models of livestock raising.

Our current hyper-concentrated, vertically integrated model for meat production is failing everyone along the supply chain. Farmers are going broke, meatpacking workers face unsafe conditions and are paid inadequate wages, consumers don’t trust the corporations controlling the food system, communities living near industrial animal facilities face pollution and other health risks, and farmed animals are treated inhumanely. Large multinational meatpacking corporations are the only ones who benefit.

Instead, I want to see Congress build a fair and sustainable food system as envisioned by the Farm System Reform Act. Please do all within your power to pass this legislation.

Sincerely,
