Release: Farmers and Advocates Rally and March for a Climate-Focused Farm Bill
Washington, DC, Tuesday, March 7, 2023 — Today, hundreds of farmers and food and farm systems advocates gathered for the Farmers for Climate Action: Rally for Resilience, part of a mass mobilization calling on lawmakers to prioritize climate solutions in the 2023 Farm Bill. Participants hailed from 40 US states and 2 territories.
…“After months of collaboration, I’m so proud of the spectacular rally and march today! It was beautiful to see hundreds of fellow farmers raise their voices to ask for action on climate in the farm bill. The climate crisis is an everyday reality for us as farmers and it is powerfully important to bring our stories to the ears of our lawmakers.
