“Hello, my name is [NAME] and I am a resident of [CITY/DISTRICT]. I am a part of [YOUR FAITH COMMUNITY], and attend [YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP]. I’m calling to discuss the 2023 Farm Bill with [NAME OF LEGISLATOR].
As a person of faith and conscience, I’m called upon to address the 2023 Farm Bill. Congress has a moral obligation to implement and further support policies and practices that are sustainable for our communities, ecosystems, and the climate. In order for our future generations to thrive, we must prioritize environmental justice, an equitable land & clean energy transition, as well as support for our local food systems and communities. We must ensure that all beings are uplifted and protected in a fair and faithful Farm Bill.
I urge you to ensure that/consider [insert chosen Farm Bill point here] in the 2023 Farm Bill. Our generation has a responsibility to maintain a habitable and thriving world for future generations by encouraging investments, time, and resources in people and the planet. Please support [insert chosen Farm Bill point here] in the Farm Bill this year.”
