Industrial ag has been wreaking havoc on MD residents’ health & the Chesapeake Bay for decades – and Marylanders are fed up with inaction.
But @iamwesmoore has been silent on whether he will finally hold companies like @PerdueChicken accountable.

Love hearing @KrystalOriadha talk about how we need to put our money where our mouth is when it comes to investing in Black farmers in Prince George's County at the @pgcfec#ACANDIDateConvo22
Great to see all the Prince George's Council District 2 candidates speaking about their commitment to food equity at #ACANDIDateConvo22 with @pgcfec

Students are asking for more plant-based options at school — but school districts face barriers in meeting that demand. Rep @NydiaVelazquez & @JamaalBowmanNY’s #HealthyFoodHealthyStudents bill would change that.
@NydiaVelazquez@RepBowman Thank you for your leadership @NydiaVelazquez and @RepBowman. Our students deserve healthy, climate-friendly and culturally appropriate food at school - for their future and the future of the planet.
@davidplotz@SlateGabfest@jdickerson@emilybazelon This is maybe a better fit for a slate plus segment, but I’d like to hear you guys talk about which elements are needed to make a great city (eg near a body of h20, racially diverse, educated citizenry, etc)
Thank you to Councilmember @marycheh for her tireless work to make DC a national leader on climate change and food justice. Check out this new bill & ask your Councilmember to support it ⬇️
Time and time again, the District has been a national leader in environmental policy, but there is one major and underutilized tool in the fight against climate change: our purchasing power in the food procurement process.
Here's how we can fight climate change with food:
NEW BLOG: If Black people died of #COVID19 at the same rate as white people, 16,000 more Black people would be alive today. Racial health disparities emerge early, and healthy #plantbased school food is crucial to achieve racial health equity. https://t.co/04FMk2Aun8
We stand with @VenceremosAR and call on Arkansas Gov @AsaHutchinson to act immediately to protect public health by ordering the shutdown of meat processing plants in Arkansas where workers have tested positive for COVID!

It's pretty gross hearing @GovLarryHogan say he agrees with everything 45 had to say. You defy all bounds of human decency to declare war on fellow Americans just because they call for justice under the law. To agree is shameful and disgusting. We need a leader not a doormat.
If D.C. were a state it would fall in the bottom half of states on all indicators, and the bottom ten on child food insecurity (43rd), on time to graduate (50th), and child homicides and suicides (51st, or last).

You can block the people from the White House but you can’t block us from the Ballot Box.

@FarmBureau I can keep going: 4) Stop lobbying for Right to Farm laws that limit the ability of communities living near factory farms (you guessed it, predominantly POC) to sue over pollution and noxious smells.
