[Green] Fw: [AppalachianCluster] Let's UU the Farm Bill, for a Climate-Smart Proposal

[First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta]

This is about contacting our U.S. Representative and Senators to encourage them to address climate change in the Farm Bill that they are now crafting. This is an opportunity to provide input, rather than reaction to something that’s been done. I urge you to click on the link that says “Issue Handout” to see the talking points to present to your federal legislators. I’m going to do this ASAP.  I hope you will, too.

Subject: [AppalachianCluster] Let's UU the Farm Bill, for a Climate-Smart Proposal

We want to share an engagement opportunity with you.

The next Farm Bill is being negotiated now, and we need it to address the role of the agricultural sector in the climate crisis. Our progressive voices will matter greatly to showcase that faith advocates see a moral imperative at play.  

We must advocate that Congress craft a climate-smart proposal that advances sustainability, and justice, offers the chance to reduce hunger, promotes environmental stewardship, and promote fairness to farmers and farmworkers. Review and share our: 

  a.. Issue Handout 
  b.. Action Poster 
  c.. Facebook Post




  a.. Share a Commentary: Kirk Freeman on a Bill for Every Community And Constituency, The Farm Bill 
  b.. Share a UUSJ thought piece: Called By Our Faith To Act For A Climate-Smart Farm Bill
