URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell Congress to save 4 MILLION TONS of carbon emissions
every year by passing the EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act! Send your message now!
[[link removed]]

Many small and sustainable farmers are struggling to make ends meet. They are
forced to compete with the low-quality foods produced by big multinational food corporations that fuel climate change and
mistreat workers. It doesn’t help that the federal government purchases BILLIONS
of dollars of food each year from bad actors like Tyson Foods. In fact, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture spent nearly $250 MILLION dollars with Tyson Foods in
one year despite its 27 SERIOUS VIOLATIONS of federal labor laws in the past three years.

The EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act would transform federal food purchasing to
reduce emissions, promote organic agriculture, and support small-scale
producers. This bill will help promote climate-friendly food and support small, sustainable farms. We need you to tell your Members of Congress to make sure it passes!

Friend, tell Congress to ensure your taxes support
sustainable food producers, not Big Ag corporations! Sign the petition now! >>

[[link removed]]Imagine you’re a small farmer who prides yourself on regenerative farming
techniques. You work hard to feed your community and honor the environment in
the process. But you’re getting beat out by big corporate food producers
creating low-quality food that is fueling the destruction of our environment. To
make matters worse, your own hard-earned tax dollars are supporting your competitors. This is reality for many farmers.

New guidelines for federal purchasing would help ensure our money is supporting
emissions reductions, including by increasing low-carbon plant-based meals. In
fact, this shift could save the equivalent emissions of every car in Mississippi.

Will you send a message to Congress to pass the EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act
and slash emissions from federal food purchasing?
