![Action Alert – Send your Support for Climate-Smart and Equitable Agriculture Tonight!
Congress is working on a spending package for climate and infrastructure through budget reconciliation.
They need to hear us - farmers and sustainable agriculture advocates - to direct their attention to renewable energy, on-farm conservation practices, organic and sustainable agriculture research, and resilient supply chains.
Here’s how to take action now (before Sept 10th):
• Send an email to Congress using National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's form: bit.ly/EmailCongress4Farmers
• Call US Representative Abigail Spanberger on the House Agriculture Committee 202-225-2815
Call script:
"Hello, my name is ____ and I’m a ____ [farmer, parent, concerned citizen…] in Virginia. I’m calling about the budget reconciliation package. It’s critical that agriculture funding in this bill helps farmers address climate change and adapt to its impacts. Here are the specific investments I hope you will prioritize:
· $30 billion for conservation programs with a focus on agricultural practices and systems that increase resilience to climate change; improve the health of workers, communities, and soil; protect water and air quality; increase biodiversity; and help store carbon in the soil.
· $5 billion for sustainable and organic agriculture research programs focused on climate resilience related research, education, and extension programs
· $3 billion to support resilient rural development through investments in community-based infrastructure focused on value-added agriculture, rural renewable energy, and infrastructure to improve food system resilience and better support small and medium-scale farmers.
· $10 billion for debt relief to stabilize the operations of producers who have not received a fair share of aid from recent federal support programs.
Thank you for your time."
