💚 Catholic Social Action - Farm Bill Event Reminder 💚

For those not aware, the Farm Bill is up for reauthorization this year. Through it's support for agriculture and feeding people, it affects literally every person in our country. Through it's support for foreign aid, it affects millions and millions of our global sisters and brothers. This is important!!

Please join us on Thursday, 5/4, at 7:00pm at the Community of the Good Shepherd (or online) for an opportunity to learn more about what the Farm Bill is, what it does, and how you can be a part of the national and local efforts to advocate for it's strengthening. Please see below for more information.

Learn and Advocate

Every five years, the Farm Bill - a massive piece of legislation which addresses farms, food, and foreign aid - is up for reauthorization. The amount of good this money does is almost immeasurable, and as our office has a special focus on rural life, poverty, and global solidarity, we are especially interested in what happens with this process, i.e. how much money is allocated and how it will be used.

This year, we are partnering with the Catholic Conference of Ohio, the dioceses of Columbus and Cleveland, and Bread for the World to offer events in each of these areas of Ohio. Each of the events will be held from 7:00-9:00pm and will be offered in person and streamed online.
