Your Signature is Needed: Don’t let Senator Marshall REVERSE organic farm animal protections

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Senator Marshall is proposing an amendment that would REVERSE our work to strengthen organic animal welfare. We cannot let that happen, Friend. [Sign the petition now before it’s too late!]( Friend, environmentalists like you have demanded regulations ensuring all animals on organic farms are treated humanely, which is what most of us expect from USDA Organic. Because of your hard work, the USDA is so close to implementing the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standard Rule (OLPS), which would strengthen animal welfare standards for organic farming, including closing a loophole that allows some producers to deny organic chickens access to the outdoors! Organic farmers, advocates and consumers have pushed USDA for decades to finalize these important rules and ensure organic can live up to its vision of building a healthier, more transparent, and more humane food system. But Senator Marshall has introduced an amendment that would BLOCK the rule from moving forward! If it passes, this amendment would remove accountability and strict guidelines that would ensure ALL organic farmers have to treat animals humanely. This is URGENT! [The Marshall Amendment could move forward soon Friend if we do not act FAST. Sign the petition before 11:59pm TONIGHT to protect organic farm animal welfare>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( In 2017, the Trump Administration reversed the OLPS rule, and since then we have been fighting to get the USDA to implement these common sense regulations. The OLPS rule ensures the humane treatment of animals on organic farms, creates a level playing field for organic farmers and gives consumers the peace of mind that they deserve. Organic farming is better for people and the planet. We need your help to ensure it’s better for all animals on organic farms, too. [We’re short of our goal Friend — we need 1,914 more signatures to STOP Senator Marshall from blocking crucial regulations that would support animal welfare standards and maintain consumer trust. Will you add your name NOW to speak up for organic farm animals, farmers, and consumers?>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for being a true climate champion, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2021, Friends of the Earth.
