SIGN NOW: Tell the USDA to approve the organic animal welfare rule immediately!

Organic consumers demand a healthy, safe, and transparent food system, including products from animals that are treated with DIGNITY AND RESPECT.

Most organic farmers already follow animal welfare standards, but Big Ag has been attempting to water down organic rules so that they can still profit from using the “organic” label without having to abide by these stricter humane practices.

The Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices Rule would give consumers peace of mind by guaranteeing all farms that use the “organic” label are held to the highest standards. But in 2017, Trump sided with Big Ag by ABOLISHING this organic animal welfare rule.

RIGHT NOW, we have another chance to protect organic animals by urging the USDA to reinstate this crucial rule immediately. That’s why we need 5,802 more signatures by 11:59 PM to make a powerful impact. TAKE ACTION NOW >>

Dear USDA,

I am writing to urge you to reinstate the Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices (OLPP) rule immediately.

The rule is the result of 14 years of public and transparent deliberation to advance animal care standards in organic farming. It is supported by organic consumers, farmers, and businesses, as well as animal advocates.

You have the opportunity to undo the damage that the Trump Administration caused when they abolished this rule in 2017.

Organic agriculture was born out of a public outcry for a healthier, safer, and more transparent food system. The OLPP will ensure that all organic farms meet consumers’ expectations and that animals on organic farms are treated with dignity and respect. 
 
The organic sector depends on the USDA to set organic standards fairly and according to the law. We are counting on you to protect organic agriculture, farmers, and animals by approving this important rule.

Sincerely,
