SUMMARY:Post-Election Briefing: The Road Ahead for Anti-Monopoly Food and Agriculture Policy
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nWATCH THE RECORDING \nWith the 2024 election now decided\, join Farm Action and Farm Action Fund for a briefing on the road ahead for anti-monopoly food and agriculture policy in both the White House and Congress. Our farmer-led organizations will review the implications of election results as well as present our policy roadmap for the incoming Trump-Vance administration. \nFor too long\, dominant corporations have abused their power to steal farmers’ livelihoods and put once-thriving rural communities in decline. Meanwhile\, consumers and their families are paying more than ever for food\, food insecurity continues to be high\, diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise\, and America now imports more of the food people eat\, causing a growing agricultural trade deficit. \nOur elected officials must prioritize farmers and families over the profits of dominant corporations. We will discuss the policy actions needed to rein in corporate power\, balance the food system\, and empower farmers to supply their communities with safe\, nutritious\, and abundant food. \nWATCH THE RECORDING

SUMMARY:Enough Is Enough Tour
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n16 farm organizations announced the launch of the national Enough Is Enough Tour in protest of government policies that drive consolidation of the food system into the hands of the largest multinational corporations to the detriment of farmers and ranchers. \nWith Congress preparing to debate the farm bill during prime planting and calving season\, restricting farmers’ and ranchers’ ability to bring their voices to Washington D.C.\, farm groups will gather at events in at least six states to call on members of Congress to deliver a bill that levels the playing field. \nA major focus of the tour is to highlight corruption in government checkoff programs\, which compel farmers and ranchers to contribute a staggering one billion dollars annually and which have been co-opted by corporate interests. Checkoff dollars are often funneled to lobbying organizations that represent the world’s largest meatpackers and grain traders\, which then work against the interests of the very farmers and ranchers mandated to pay into the programs. \nEnough Is Enough Tour events will take place across the country\, hosted by grassroots and national organizations representing the interests of our nation’s food producers: \n\nMay 14 | Clearwater\, MN | Hosted by American Grassfed Association and Thousand Hills Farm\nMay 22 | Osseo\, WI | Hosted by Wisconsin Farmers Union\nMay 24 | Nicodemus\, KS | Hosted by Kansas Black Farmers Association\nMay 29 | Columbiana\, OH | Hosted by Buckeye Quality Beef Association\, Ohio Farmers Union\, and Pennsylvania Farmers Union\nMay 31 | Guntersville\, AL | Hosted by Alabama Contract Poultry Growers Association\, Competitive Markets Action\, and the Organization for Competitive Markets\nJune 4 | Bismarck\, ND | Hosted by Dakota Resource Council
