URGENT ACTION NEEDED: We have a once-in-a-FIVE-YEAR opportunity to fight for racial justice and worker protections in agriculture! Act before the opportunity passes! >> 

Every half decade, Congress renews the Farm Bill -- massive legislation addressing hundreds of issues in food and agriculture. The Farm Bill must be renewed this year, providing a powerful opportunity to fight back against Big Ag corporations and score huge victories for racial justice. But the window of opportunity is closing fast!

The Justice for Black Farmers Act aims to correct historic discrimination that caused Black famers to lose MILLIONS of acres of land and robbed them of BILLIONS in generational wealth. The Protecting America’s Meatpacking Workers Act would expand workplace safety and health protections for workers in the often-abusive industrial agriculture industry.

We can pass both bills through the Farm Bill if we send enough messages to Congress before it’s too late. Please, Friend, help correct historical harms and protect workers. Take just 30 seconds to send your message to Congress before midnight tonight!

In the 1910s, Black farmers owned an estimated 20 million acres of land. Since then, due to white supremacy and racism within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of Black farmers PLUNGED 98%! Ninety. Eight. Percent.

Meanwhile, meatpacking workers are often subject to degrading and dangerous conditions. Overworked and underpaid. At risk of SERIOUS injury! We can address both issues through the Farm Bill -- but we need your help to do it. Tell Congress to pass a pro-racial justice, pro-worker Farm Bill!
