Support The Bill To Ban Most Factory Farming By 2040!

We have a chance to shut down the worst factory farming once and for all...

Add your name if you want this awesome bill to pass into law!

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced Thursday that she would be co-sponsoring Sen. Cory Booker's bill to phase out large-scale factory farming by 2040.

"The Farm System Reform Act would prohibit new large factory farms from going into business and force others to cease expansions before halting operations entirely within two decades.

"Warren's support for the law comes after multiple reports of unsafe conditions in the meatpacking industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Rep. Ro Khanna is also co-sponsoring the effort and has introduced companion legislation to the House.

""For years, regulators looked the other way while giant multinational corporations crushed competition in the agriculture sector and seized control over key markets," Warren said in a statement.

""The COVID-19 crisis will make it easier for Big Ag to get even bigger, gobble up smaller farms, and lead to fewer choices for consumers."

""We need to attack this consolidation head-on and give workers, farmers, and consumers bargaining power in our farm and food system," added Warren. "I'm glad to partner with Senator Booker and Representative Khanna to start reversing the hyper-concentration in our farm economy," reported Newsweek.

Why support this bill?

It's simple: fewer factory farms = less suffering for farm animals.

But the power of this bill doesn't stop there.

It will also be good for the environment.

"Corporations would also be held responsible for environmental damage caused by CAFOs. In addition, law would enforce mandatory country-of-origin labelling for beef, pork and dairy products, while prohibiting the Department of Agriculture from labelling any imported meat as a "Product of USA."

""Our food system was not broken by the pandemic and it was not broken by independent family farmers," said Booker. "It was broken by large, multinational corporations like Tyson, Smithfield, and JBS that, because of their buying power and size, have undue influence over the marketplace and over public policy."

""That undue influence was on full display with President Trump's recent executive order prioritizing meatpacker profits over the health and safety of workers," Booker added," said the same source.

This bill MUST pass.

That's why we're asking every member of the US Senate to vote yes on The Farm System Reform Act.

Don't you want to help end the suffering of farm animals, and protect our environment from damaging pollution?

Then add your name to ask the Senate to support The Farm System Reform Act!
