Don’t Let Trump Cut Down Our National Forests
The U.S. national forests are vital ecosystems that support wildlife, provide clean water, reduce wildfire risk, and help fight climate change. Donald Trump is pushing policies that would expand logging in these forests, benefiting corporations while weakening protections for endangered species and limiting public input.
The proposed “Fix Our Forests Act,” would formalize his policies into law, making them harder to reverse. We are urging everyone who cares about the environment to contact Congress to oppose the bill and help us protect national forests from increased deforestation.
The Proposed Farm Bill Would Enable Factory Farm Cruelty and Foreign Control
Hidden in the 2026 Farm Bill is Section 12006—a provision that would wipe out animal welfare laws in 15 states overnight.
Laws that voters passed by wide margins to ban the cruelest factory farm practices: pregnant pigs crammed in cages so small they can’t turn around, chickens packed into wire battery cages, calves confined in veal crates.
But Section 12006 goes further. It would block states from passing any new animal welfare laws, creating a race to the bottom that undoes over a decade of progress. Who benefits? Foreign corporations like China’s Smithfield and Brazil’s JBS that control our meat production and don’t want to follow our animal welfare standards.
This isn’t just about animal cruelty—it’s about who gets to decide how our food is produced. Section 12006 hands that power to foreign corporations while stripping it away from American voters and states.
