[Communications] {AUA} We Deserve a Strong Farm Bill This Year!

[Stef Funk]

Hey AUA Community!


Did you know that the 2018 Farm Bill is slated to expire in less than six
weeks on 10/1/24… and that technically, it already expired once before on
10/1/23? Congress has been unable to advance a fair and equitable 2024 Farm
Bill, putting at risk the vital programs and resources on which our
nation’s farmers rely.

Tell Congress to Pass a Just and Fair Farm Bill ASAP!

Every successful farm bill has been built on the foundation of
bipartisanship and the active engagement of many stakeholder communities,
and the next farm bill will be no different. We believe that the 118th
Congress could complete a new farm bill this year – but expediency must not
come at the expense of policies that address hunger, public health,
farmers, workers, and the environment. To deliver this message to
Congressional Leaders, several organizations have worked together to pen a
sign on letter, which you can read here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwUmZQUXrHuvZolTSd3B5VXjyubWZAEJo6rDsl3n70pgxbKA/viewform>
.

So far, over 200 organizations have signed on in support – can you add your
organization to the list before the September 5th deadline?

We are hoping to reach as many aligned organizations as possible. After
adding your organization's name to the list of signatories, *please forward
this email to 5 other organizations you think would appreciate the
invitation to be included! *

Cheers,
- Stef
