With the federal government slashing sustainable agriculture funding and reversing hard-won progress, California’s climate leadership is on the line. Two critical opportunities are in play right now—but without a wave of public pressure, they could slip away. We need your voice to make sure our California legislature delivers for farmers, frontline communities, and our climate. Your call today could make the difference.
Call your legislators TODAY and demand action on:
CAP & TRADE REFORMS
- California’s Cap & Trade Program must be reauthorized with equity at the center—including dedicated funding for small and underserved farmers to access land, water, and climate-resilient tools.
PROP 4 CLIMATE BOND FUNDING
- California’s voters approved this critical funding and need it now. Legislators must immediately allocate Climate Bond funding to:
- Farmer cooperatives & equipment sharing
- Tribal food sovereignty programs
- Climate-smart agriculture for all

“My name is [Your Name] from [Your Town]. As a constituent, I’m calling to urge you to:
- Reject a straight reauthorization of Cap & Trade—we need reforms that prioritize sustainable agriculture funding in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, especially for small farmers to access land, climate-smart agriculture programs and more.
- Ensure Prop 4 Climate Bond funding is released THIS YEAR for farmer cooperatives, Tribal programs, and climate-smart agriculture.
California must lead where Washington is failing us. Will you commit to pushing for these priorities? Thank you.”
Why calls matter: Emails get ignored. A 60-second call shifts priorities in Sacramento.
With federal cuts looming, California’s leadership is more urgent than ever.
