Oregon State Representatives: Support the Factory Farm Moratorium!

Tell Oregon State Representatives: Support the Factory Farm Moratorium!

We need to take urgent action to protect our climate and Oregon's air, water, family farms, and rural communities from factory farms!

Factory farms don't belong in Oregon – but state officials are letting these polluting, industrial animal factories set up shop in our state. Factory farms fuel climate change, pollute our air and water, and harm our health and our rural communities.

Oregon's elected officials want to be climate leaders – and that means stopping new and expanding factory farms. We need a factory farm moratorium now!

Tell your legislators: Say no to new factory farms in Oregon and co-sponsor HB 2667!

Dear Legislator,

Message Body

I urge you to support a moratorium on factory farms.

Factory farms are harming our communities. They contribute to climate change, cause water and air pollution, harm the welfare of animals, and push family farms out of business. And they’re being proposed in Oregon in increasing numbers.

We can’t allow Oregon to become the next hotbed for factory farms. Urgent action is needed to protect Oregon from the harms posed by these industrial facilities. Representative Zach Hudson, along with Senator Michael Dembrow and Senator Jeff Golden, has introduced HB 2667 to enact a moratorium on new and expanding factory farms in Oregon. Please join them and support this critical legislation.

As an Oregonian, I know our state is unique and special. We have a deep sense of place and want to protect our resources, including our air and water, for generations to come. Our climate, our communities, our natural resources, and our small farms are more important than industry profit. The factory farm moratorium bill would halt any new or expanded factory farms from being permitted in our state until Oregon’s leaders act to protect our communities and special places.

Please support HB 2667, the factory farm moratorium bill, in the 2023 legislative session to protect our climate and Oregon's air, water, family farms, and rural communities.

Sincerely,
