This Must Not Pass: Oppose the Budget Reconciliation Package
Extreme weather. Rising grocery prices. Unstable markets for farmers. In the face of the many challenges facing farmers and families right now, is Congress stepping in to help?
No. The House rushed to pass a bill that makes deep cuts to food aid for families (SNAP), backtracks on climate change action, and ignores the need for a full farm bill in favor of selected subsidies for a few over supporting all farmers fairly.
Is the Senate stepping in to fix it?
Also no. The Senate is rushing to advance a nearly identical bill that will likely come to a vote in the coming days.
This destructive bill funds tax breaks and subsidies for the wealthy by hurting the majority of American farmers and families. If passed, the budget reconciliation bill would:
- Slash access to food in rural and urban communities for families in need
- Decimate market opportunities for farmers
- Fail to address climate impacts like natural disasters and severe weather
- Rob us of a chance to build a better food & farm future through a full, fair farm bill.
We have been loud and clear for years: we need a farm bill that invests in programs that nourish people, protect our environment, and build strong economies. All farmers deserve support so they can thrive, and our community members deserve access to nutritious food
