It's not too late to celebrate ... our friends at Arkearth are sharing some great opportunities to support bees (and other important pollinators) today and every day!

It's World Bee Day every May 20th, and we thought we would share some ideas on how you can celebrate and help make a difference in saving the 20,000 species of bees (yes, that's 20,000 with four zeros). Many people only think of honeybees when we talk about bees, but there are so many other types of...

“Not only was FARFA part of the reason why the exemption was included, but they also empowered our organization to know and understand the regulation to articulate and demonstrate how we were exempt.” — Tommy Garcia-Prats, Small Places / Finca Tres Robles

When the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was implemented, FARFA helped farmers understand the small-farm exemption and prepare them to respond confidently when regulators came to the farm.

A major WIN...plus more setbacks with the Farm Bill!

Because of YOUR calls and advocacy, the House voted 280-142 in favor of the Luna-Crane Amendment that stripped out the pesticide manufacturer liability shield. The vote was strongly bipartisan, with 73 Republicans joining 207 Democrats to stand up against the big-money pesticide industry. You can see how your Representative voted here: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026148

The amendment keeps in place one of the core ways to hold chemical companies responsible for the harms that they cause with their products. Your engagement helped make this happen.

But, every other amendment we supported was either stripped in the Rules Committee or voted down on the House floor.
