Thank you to everyone who has contacted their legislators!
Action Needed:
Please call and email Appropriations Members and if your member is not on Appropriations - still reach out to them!
Many of these members are strong allies! Our issue is not lacking support, but it needs attention to make it through the process. Remember they are working hard on a lot of priorities. Share gratitude for their efforts and make sure they understand why this is important to you and to their communities. Consider sharing stories and photos of spring plantings, taste tests, and new partnerships with local farms or schools.
