John,

During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, corporate meat giant Tyson Foods Inc. stoked fears about a fictional meat shortage in order to keep its plants operating – putting public health and the lives of their workers at risk.

Now Tyson is getting ready to make things even worse for consumers with a scheme to expand its meat monopoly with 12 more meat plants by 2024.

We know that more meat plants = more pollution = more destruction of rural communities and more consolidation of our food system. Ultimately, that means we all pay higher prices at the grocery store. We can’t let this stand.

That's why Food & Water Action is fighting to overhaul our food system and stop corporate meat giants like Tyson. Take Action: Tell Congress it’s time to build a more sustainable, humane food system.

Ban Factory Farms

Legal and policy failures have allowed a handful of giant corporations to gain a stranglehold on our food system. They use this power to lobby for weaker animal welfare and environmental protections, weaker rules for worker safety and less enforcement of the rules that keep consumers safe.

But there’s a better way. We need a food system that rewards sustainable, diversified farms – farms that treat animals humanely, build rural communities, value workers and respect consumers.

Weeks ago Senator Cory Booker and Representative Ro Khanna reintroduced the Farm System Reform Act. This legislation will:

-- Ban all new and expanding factory farms
-- Transition existing factory farms to smaller, diversified operations
-- Restore fairness to livestock markets so independent family farmers can make a fair living raising animals the right way 

Ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Farm System Reform Act.

Ban Factory Farms

We know we need to build pressure to pass this bill. Corporations like Tyson have too much money and influence. But passing ambitious farm system legislation is something Food & Water Action — and you — have been working to do for years. We’ve been organizing, speaking out and rallying across the country, all to protect our environment and communities.

Urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Farm System Reform Act

This critical legislation would create a more sustainable, equitable and humane food system.

Onward together,
