Stop USDA support for factory farms!

Corporate giants are ignoring the health and needs of animals and people who are harmed by factory farms. And government policies too often prop up this damaging industry.

Expanding these facilities and pushing unsafe production rates = more animals suffering cruelty, higher risk of food contamination, and more pollution -- resulting in detrimental impacts on the air, water, and our food supply.

We must take urgent action to STOP factory farms and their abuse of animals, harm to the environment, and pollution of communities -- before more damage is done. Will you demand the USDA do more to stop Big Ag corporations from sacrificing our health and well-being for corporate profit and greed?

Dear Secretary Vilsack,

I am writing to urge you to do all within your power to end USDA’s support for climate-harming factory farms that engage in unsafe, abusive, and environmentally destructive practices. Factory farming is a driving cause of the climate crisis, harms local communities, creates breeding grounds for the next pandemic, and perpetuates intolerable animal suffering.

Producing animals at such a massive scale threatens our only Earth and endangers the health and livelihoods of the people who live near factory farms. Communities living near factory farms are often low-income communities and communities of color, making this a crucial environmental justice issue. Our planet is in crisis, and that calls for transformative solutions that end federal support for factory farming. That means slashing subsidies for factory farm gas, ending the support of USDA’s conservation programs for factory farms, and helping farmers transition to sustainable and humane forms of agriculture as quickly as possible.

Again, I respectfully urge you to do all you can to end federal support for climate-harming factory farms that engage in unsafe, abusive, and environmentally destructive practices.

Thank you,
