Hey friend,
If you’ve been following our work for a while, you know what the Farm Bill is and just how important it is in fighting the climate crisis equitably and with justice at the center.
As a quick refresher, the Farm Bill is a massive investment passed every five years, typically with bipartisan support, and invests hundreds of billions into agriculture, food programs, conservation, and more.
The Farm Bill needs to pass through Congress by September, so it’s rather surprising that, according to our recent polling, 29% of Californians have not heard much about the Farm Bill, and a whopping 48% have never even heard of it at all!
Despite that, when asked about the issue areas that the farm bill funds programs for — from combating wildfires to keeping water clean to affordable food benefits — the vast majority of participants supported them and expressed concerns about cuts.

Very soon, Congress will be discussing the Farm Bill again. If it doesn’t include enough funding for affordable food programs, conservation, forestry, sustainable agriculture, and water, it could set us far back in the movement to combat the climate crisis.
We must fight off attempts to cut these investments as much as we can, but that becomes a challenge when regular voters are not aware that these investments even exist!
Friend, take a look at our poll results to familiarize yourself with the current landscape of awareness around this massively important bill → [link removed]
Thank you for keeping yourself informed!
