Act Now: Farm bill expires Sept. 30

Urge your members of Congress to pass a short-term extension. [Photo of the Capitol Building dome.]( Dear Friend, The farm bill, our nation’s most important anti-hunger legislation, must be reauthorized every five years. Unfortunately, it is unlikely Congress will pass a new farm bill before the current one expires on September 30. [Please act now]( and urge your members of Congress to pass a short-term extension of the farm bill by September 30 and a new farm bill before the end of the year. [Act Now]( The need for a new farm bill has never been more urgent as food insecurity in the U.S. continues to rise and the world faces multiple, ongoing hunger and famine crises. Passage of a short-term extension will give lawmakers more time to negotiate a new farm bill that protects and strengthens vital domestic and international nutrition programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Food for Peace. Again, please [urge your members of Congress]( to pass a short-term extension of the farm bill by September 30 and a new farm bill before the end of the year.
