Farm Action Local Leaders

Join a nationwide network of advocates fighting for a fair, sustainable, and healthy food and farm system.

A Farm Action Local Leader Can...

  • Share Farm Action research and campaigns on social media, by email, and in conversations in their communities.
  • Post Farm Action materials in locally (flyers, handouts, event materials).
  • Write and and place op-eds and letters to the editor in local and regional outlets (with staff support).
  • Interact with local, state, and federal elected officials to advocate for Farm Action policy priorities.
  • Participate in Farm Action’s virtual or in-person advocacy days in Washington, D.C.
  • Present Farm Action information and campaigns to their communities, with staff support, to help raise awareness.
  • Help hold corporations and policymakers accountable by lifting up local stories and spotlighting market harms.

This Community of Advocates Will Enjoy...

  • Special email updates with timely action alerts and ways to get involved.
  • Opportunities to meet guest speakers on our Zoom calls.
  • Connections with other leaders across the country who share interests and values.
  • An online Facebook community where advocates can exchange ideas and mobilize in our work to rein in corporate power in agriculture.

You Might Be a Local Leader If…

  • You believe that powerful corporate interests extract profit from farmers, ranchers, and workers—while harming the land, animals, and rural communities.
  • You believe discrimination and unequal access—especially for farmers and rural communities who’ve been shut out for generations—are part of the same extractive system.
  • You believe these challenges are connected—and that we win a fairer food system by listening to the people most affected, supporting on-the-ground solutions, and speaking with a common message.
  • You want to connect with other members of the community who share these values.
  • You’re committed to a food and agriculture system that works for everyday people—not just a handful of powerful corporations.
  • You’re excited to step into the role of a Local Leader and make meaningful change for farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and consumers.
