Sign this petition and join Catholics United and Oxfam in urging Congress to help the world's small and struggling farmers. This year, Congress will debate a new Farm Bill, which for the next five years will either set policies that could either help small farmers at home and abroad - or keep them struggling.

Currently, the Farm Bill represents a broken promise to America's farmers and rural communities. It falls well short of meeting its obligations to families that depend on food stamps and conservation programs that protect rivers and streams. And to make matters worse, the current Farm Bill actually hurts poor farmers in developing countries. As Catholics, we are called to work towards the common good, one that makes sure everyone benefits from the increasingly global agricultural market - not just the multi-nationals and corporate conglomerate farmers.

Help small and struggling farmers get the leg up they need by signing this petition to tell Congress today to create a Farm Bill that reduces misguided subsidies and shifts those resources to support the programs that really need the money.
