Support the Farm System Reform Act!

The Farm System Reform Act is a groundbreaking solution to our factory farm crisis.

Senator Cory Booker and Representative Ro Khanna reintroduced critical legislation that would place an immediate moratorium on the construction of new or expanding factory farms, with a phaseout of existing large facilities by 2040.

Factory farms put public health and the food supply at risk, pollute the environment and drinking water, wreck rural communities, and fuel climate change — while increasing corporate control over our food. It’s time to change the fundamental structure of our food system, and that starts with banning factory farms. We need our senators and representatives to support this legislation!

Urge your Members of Congress to support the Farm System Reform Act (HR 4421/S 2332)!

Dear Legislator,

Message Body

I urge you to support the Farm System Reform Act (HR 4421/S 2332). It’s time to change the fundamental structure of our food system, and that starts with getting rid of factory farms. This legislation would overhaul the fundamental structure of our food system by:

- Stopping new factory farm operations from being built, and stopping existing factory farms from expanding. 
- Enforcing environmental laws on existing factory farms, including holding vertically integrated companies responsible for the pollution created by the animals they own.
- Supporting the transition of existing factory farm operations to diversified operations that can serve regional markets.

Factory farms confine large numbers of animals in intensive, unsanitary, and cruel conditions. These animals are treated as commodities, not as living beings. To protect farmed animals we have to dismantle the entrenched political power that corporate agriculture has amassed, and that starts with passing the Farm System Reform Act.

Please support the Farm System Reform Act — a groundbreaking solution to our factory farm crisis. The health of our rural communities and our planet depends on it.

If you already support this bill, thank you for working to transition our food system to a healthy, sustainable, equitable model. Please continue to advocate for a food system that treats animals humanely and builds rural communities.

Sincerely,
