**Help drive in calls to House Representatives who haven’t signed on to stop the EATS Act.** (The Ending Agricultural Suppression Act – also known as the “Food Security and Farm Protection Act” and “Save our Bacon Act”)
✊ We’ll be calling Food & Water Watch supporters with Representatives who we think can be pressured to make the right choice and stop this bill.
☎️ *No experience necessary!* Those new to our phone banking tool will be trained at the beginning of our call. If you’re experienced, you can start dialing right away. Staff will be available on the call for two hours to answer questions and help out.
**Agenda:**
– We’ll start with 20-30 minutes of introduction and training. If you are an experienced Food & Water phone banker, you can get started with your calls sooner.
– Then we’ll spend about an hour making phone calls. Staff will be available for questions, and at the end we’ll debrief about how the calls went.
### What is the EATS Act / Save our Bacon Act?
Big Ag is using bills by several names like the EATS Act, Save our Bacon Act, Food Security and Farm Protection Act to attack California’s Proposition 12 law, which bans the in-state sale of pork, eggs, and veal from animals “confined in a cruel manner”. It seeks to gut Prop 12 and is up for consideration in this year’s Farm Bill. It would make unregulated factory farms and unsafe working conditions the law of the land and encourage a race to the bottom in which consumers, animals, and our environment lose out to enormous profit-grubbing corporations.
