Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Oxfam America Advocacy Fund.

The short explanation of this alert was:

This fall, the Senate will debate a new Farm Bill, which for five years will set policies that could either help small farmers at home and abroad—or keep them struggling.

The current Farm Bill represents a broken promise to America's farmers and rural communities, and it falls short of meeting its obligations to families that depend on food stamps and conservation programs that protect rivers and streams. To make things worse, the current Farm Bill actually hurts poor farmers in developing countries.

Please contact your members of Congress today using the letter below and ask them to create a Farm Bill that reduces misguided subsidies and shifts those resources to support the programs that really need the money.

Members of the Senate listen to their constituents. Your voice could make all the difference! Use it now to tell the Senate to put your tax money to work for farmers, families, and our future.
