Dear Agriculture,

What will it take to ensure we have strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes and other healthy produce—picked fresh from a farmer’s field—on our dinner tables at home and in our schools?
The answer: working farms. And we are close—so close we can taste it—to persuading Congress to make a big investment that will help thousands of farmers supply the foods that are the cornerstone of our family celebrations and holiday traditions.
Give today to support fresh, healthy and local food.
We’re working hard to turn your donation into a big investment in the future of farming. How big? We are close to securing an additional $10-15 billion in Congress—including $2.2 billion for programs that help bring more fresh fruit and vegetables to communities and families across America. That’s over $80,000 raised per each of you who subscribes to AFT’s e-newsletters!
Give today to keep the momentum going.
We’ve come a long way during the past year—we’ve educated Congress on ways to improve federal farm policy and built a strong case for increased funding for programs that move fresh, healthy food from the field to farmers’ markets, grocery stores, schools, local restaurants and institutions.
But the final decisions in the Senate will be made in the next two weeks, and we don’t want to lose momentum!
Give today and help us finish what we’ve started.
We’re working hard to keep the pressure on Congress to make sure more children in our schools, more families in our towns and more people living in our cities can enjoy healthy produce.
You can make a difference. Please give today to help make sure we don’t lose funding for programs to bring fresh, healthy and local food to our communities.

Jimmy Daukas
