Tell the USDA to STOP supporting ABUSIVE the factory farms industry!

Factory farms are bad for people, animals, and the environment.

They cram innocent animals into tiny cages without sunlight or fresh air in unsanitary conditions that are breeding grounds for bacteria and diseases that could end up in our communities.

These massive facilities release tons of toxic chemicals that pollute the local food, water, and air -- and produce TONS of greenhouse gas emissions that worsen the climate crisis.

But the USDA still continues to fund these greedy and abusive factory farms, so we MUST take action now! >>

Dear USDA,

Factory farming poses a risk to animals, our public health, and the environment.

Animals on factory farms are subjected to unnecessary suffering and are forced to live under inhumane and unsanitary conditions -- which is not only cruel, but it also creates a breeding ground for bacteria and disease.

In fact, industrial-scale farms produce as much as 1 billion tons of manure waste -- three times as much as humans. And that waste ends up contaminating our water, food, and air.

Nearby residents are also at risk from factory farms. Research has linked toxic air and water pollutants to respiratory ailments, decreased quality of life, stress, and elevated blood pressure. This harms low-income communities and communities of color the most, where these massive facilities are disproportionately located.

To make matters worse, factory farming releases large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating the negative impacts of the climate crisis.

But the USDA continues to fund and support these mega meat corporations, so I am writing to you today to urge you to STOP your support of the factory farming industry and prioritize public health.

Sincerely,
