We all deserve to live in healthy, sustainable environments where everyone has the resources they need to thrive. But right now, the climate crisis disproportionately harms low-income, working-class, Indigenous, Black, and Brown people, and other marginalized communities worldwide. While these communities have contributed the least to carbon emissions, they face the most devastating consequences on their health, livelihoods, and homelands.

  • Read more about Pass a Farm Bill to reduce hunger

Right now, Congress is negotiating the 2026 Farm Bill. This is an opportunity that comes once every five years to determine what food is grown, how it’s grown, and who can afford it.  

With over $1 trillion in spending, the Farm Bill funds SNAP (formerly food stamps) and other vital nutrition programs that tens of millions of people depend on. It is also a critical tool for responding to the climate crisis.   

But right now, some members of Congress are planning to let huge cuts to SNAP take effect. We can’t let that happen.  

  • Read more about Tell your governor to end felony disenfranchisement

The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and should never be taken away. But today, an estimated 4 million people, disproportionately Black and Brown people, are denied their right to vote because they have felony convictions. In fact, all but two states—Maine and Vermont—and the District of Columbia, limit access to the polls for those with involvement in the criminal legal system.
