🌟 We're Making History—And You're Invited! 🌿

Exciting news! We're about to launch a critical piece of legislation that aims to revolutionize our approach to carbon emissions and set us on a path to a sustainable, animal-saving future. The big question: Should we call it 'Carbon Assessment & Reduction Back to Net Zero' or 'Back to Zero Net'?

The acronym would either be CARB'N 0 or CARB0N (zero in place of the letter "o").

🌱 The Fight for a Fair Farm Bill Continues...

Over a year into our Farm Bill Fight, the journey's been longer and tougher than we anticipated. With Congress's ever-shifting timelines, our team at AFA has been relentless, ensuring the Vegan voice is heard loud and clear in DC. But the path remains uphill.

We Need You Now More Than Ever. 🤝

In a time where inflation hits hard, our mission sequentially faces financial challenges, threatening the intensity of our advocacy. Without a boost in membership and support, we risk cutting down our lobbying efforts - a setback we can't afford.

📢 If you believe in a future where Vegans have a seat at the table, where our food system reflects our values and needs, it's time to stand with us. Every member, every donation, keeps our fight alive and our lobbyists in lockstep with Congress.

👉 Join us or donate today at www.afa.farm. Let's make sure our Vegan Language is not just heard but makes a mark.

Your support can change the course of this fight. 💪

🍇🌽Raise your voice for Vegan Policy & Plant Based Crops🍇🌽

👉 SEND YOUR MESSAGE TO THE USDA: Demand support for fruit and vegetable farmers over unsustainable meat and dairy subsidies. Your voice matters, whether you're a consumer, farmer or someone who wants your grocery costs to go down. Let's tell the USDA why supporting specialty crops is crucial for our health, environment, and future.

Why does the U.S. import so much produce when we have the land to grow our own fruits and veggies? The answer: a skewed support system. Right now, the bulk of our farm subsidies go to "livestock", dairy, corn and soy for livestock feed and not the specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, and nuts that could nourish us directly.

It's not just about feeding us; it's about economic fairness and sustainability. The favoritism towards meat and dairy at the expense of plant-based farming isn't just unfair—it's got to stop. We're risking our food security and the health of our planet.

📢 The USDA is asking for OUR input on how to better support specialty crop producers. This is our chance to advocate for a shift towards a more balanced, plant-based support system. Let's make our voices heard and push for a change that benefits everyone, not just a select few.

👉 SEND YOUR MESSAGE TO THE USDA: Demand support for fruit and vegetable farmers over unsustainable meat and dairy subsidies. Your voice matters, whether you're a consumer, farmer or someone who is tired of high grocery costs. Let's tell the USDA why supporting specialty crops is crucial for our health, environment, animals, ability to feed ourselves and future.

According to the Dairyland Initiative, school of veterinary medicine, University Wisconsin-Madison, Lactating Dairy Cows produce 150lbs of Manure per day each. This is over 2.3x the amount of non-lactating beef cows.

If you break this down, 1 cow produces 6-7 gallons of milk each day. So for every 6 gallons of milk=150lbs of manure.

That means that a 1 gallon milk jug equates to 25lbs of manure. And that 1 serving of milk equates to 1.56lbs of manure each 8oz glass.

AFA is in DC dedicated to reshaping our food system, engaging with Congress to address the ingrained unfairness and end the bias that penalizes plant-based choices. The root of the problem? Our current food system, which creates a ripple effect of overhead cost that shows up where there is a surcharge or upcharge on plant-based milks while subsidizing dairy, discouraging sustainable choices. True change can be slowed down without systemic reform – creating a level playing field where informed, accountable choices become the norm, not the exception is imperative.

This is why your voice matters. Join us, so that we can continue our efforts to advocate for fairness and support the shift towards a vegan & more equitable food system. Together, we can remove the barriers to eating plant based, making every choice count towards less animals being hurt & an overall healthier planet.

Let's demand these changes in our food system. Your support can help pave the way for the necessary systemic changes, guiding more individuals towards impactful, accountable decisions.

🌱✨ Transitioning to a Plant-Based Future: Beyond Rice and Beans ✨🌱⠀
⠀
While telling non-vegans to switch to rice and beans is a start, it's not the full solution. In 2023, inflation took a huge toll on Americans and seems to have affected alternative meat sales, which saw a 7.8% decline YoY.⠀
⠀
The cost barrier is real. According to the Good Food Institute, 20% of people are deterred from plant-based meats by their price, and 25% of occasional consumers find cost a hurdle, with most willing to pay only 5-10% more than the cost of animal meat.

🔍 The market is responding, and so should we. Relying solely on consumer choice isn't enough. We need systemic change.

🚀 The Solution? Legislative action. It's not about choosing rice and beans; it's about making plant-based options affordable through smart subsidies. Let's advocate for policies that lower plant-based food costs and make sustainable eating a no-brainer.
⠀
🌍 From animal liberation to environmental sustainability and personal health, the reasons for this shift are clear.

🚨 Bird Flu Alert: 22M Birds Lost in 4 Months 🚨⠀
⠀
Why are we using our taxes to force chicken farmers into a losing battle against bird flu? It's not just the birds at risk and dealing with a terrible death (Yes, their life is terrible already and filled with even more heartbreaking issues); it's anyone who touches, cooks, or eats chicken. Transparency? Almost none. Safety? Questionable.⠀
⠀
🥦 If broccoli were the culprit, it'd be off shelves in a heartbeat. Why not chicken? It's time for a shift. For safety, for ethics, for our future.

🌿 Let's rethink and demand better. For our health, our economy, and our planet. Join Us or donate to support our lobbying efforts. Our lobbying work is vital for veganism and saving animals, but also for the health and safety of our fellow humans. "
