One way to fight for animal and climate justice is through legislation. Senators Khanna and Booker have written a bill, The Farm System Reform Act, that moves us away from Factory Farms (CAFO's). The bill calls for a moratorium on all new and expanding CAFO's while transitioning those farmers to a more humane and sustainable footprint through financial incentives, etc. Small and medium sized family farms are dying and have been dying for decades. In there place is the corporate monopolistic factory farm model. Mega pollution, inhumane conditions for both animals and workers connected to the industry. This fight requires everyone to vote for progressive Democrats up and down the ticket come the Fall and beyond. The Trump party will only continue to enshrine and support the current "business as usual system" of corporate greed, support for monopolies (Smithfield and others), while criminalizing voices like Wayne and others. Please vote and support progressive Democrats this Fall!

Thanks for these thoughts, David! Khanna is one of my favorite people in Congress! :)
