National Actions

Tell Congress: Stop the Next Pandemic — Don’t Bail Out Factory Farms with Tax Dollars
COVID-19, like most widespread disease, is zoonotic — which means the disease originated in an animal and transmitted to humans. Factory farms are breeding grounds for zoonotic disease, but instead of cracking down on factory farming, Congress is actually subsidizing their dangerous and cruel practices with our tax dollars.
