Equal Exchange is excited to announce that it will be collaborating with Farm Action in their work to make progressive changes to the 2023 Farm Bill.
The Farm Bill—a massive piece of US legislation that is revisited every five years—provides a unique opportunity to raise our voices and press our political leaders for change. It covers everything from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program) to subsidies for corporate agribusiness, to many other programs that either help or hinder access to locally grown, healthy, sustainably sourced crops and humanely raised animals.
This event will be joined by Joe Maxwell, who presented at one of our summits several years ago. Joe will provide background on the farm bill and share Farm Action’s time-sensitive strategy to encourage meaningful change in this next bill. Collaborating with Farm Action, there is a unique opportunity to engage in this critical campaign to advocate for justice in a dangerously consolidated industrial food system. Together, we can make progress and build a more diverse and independent future that will work for farmers, workers, the planet, and you!
Please join this engaging and timely summer event that you do not want to miss! We hope we can count on your participation to win the reforms we all support.
