Support Organic Farmers & Healthier Food Systems - BIPARTISAN 

Outpost believes organic food is essential to healthy people, farms, and the environment. Organic farming reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, helping protect soil, water, and human health — but many organic farmers face challenges getting their products from farms to store shelves.

The Domestic Organic Investment Act is a bipartisan bill that would strengthen U.S. organic agriculture by investing in processing, storage, and distribution infrastructure. These investments support small farms and co-ops, grow domestic organic supply, and reduce reliance on imported organic products.

The bill has been introduced in Congress and is currently under review by Agriculture Committees. This is an important time to let elected officials know that organic food, small farms, and resilient food systems matter.

House Bill Number: H.R. 6593

Senate Bill Number: S. 3427

Background Info from the Organic Trade Association

See below for further resources on how to contact your representatives, and a brief script you can use to call.

Make your voice heard!

Elected officials receive shockingly little feedback from their constituents, so a small group of citizens actually DO have the ability to create change! With nearly 23,000 owners, we want you to get comfortable with contacting your elected officials and make your voice heard about issues important to sustainable agriculture and food systems.

Here’s the goods

We give you the info and the ask, you give just 1 minute of your time to hop on the horn and take an active role in our democracy. Pretty sweet deal, eh?

Step 1: Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to be connected automatically or visit Congress.gov to find your representatives

Step 2: Contact their office and let them know this issue is important to you.

Strategy

The most effective strategy is phone calling. If you can't call on the phone, email is the next best bet followed by a letter and lastly social media.

1. Be respectful! A thoughtful and polite statement delivered calmly is best received.
2. Be brief. Keep it short and to the point.
3. Give them your address: Comments coming from their constituents as opposed to those outside their district get much higher priority.
