I am writing to express support for your bill, AB 125, which will deliver critical resources to California’s food and agricultural system. Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed this system’s vulnerabilities, exposing the multitude of risks faced by the essential workers who feed us, the fragility of our supply chains, and the plight of food insecure people and communities across our state. At the same time, climate change continues to unfold around us, forcing California to grapple with unprecedented wildfires, a resurgent drought, and more.

This bond is an important part of California’s response to these twin crises. It is an opportunity to advance economic recovery by investing in increasing access to healthy food; combating hunger in our communities; building resilient and reliable regional food supply chains; supporting small and mid-sized farmers and ranchers; expanding climate-smart farming practices, including organic; and protecting workers in our fields, kitchens, and grocery stores. Perhaps most importantly, this bond is designed to address long-standing inequities in our food system by directing significant resources to farmers, ranchers, and communities of color that have historically been excluded from many state programs.

Now is the time for our state to invest in a 21st century food and farming system. Whatever challenges we face in the future, AB 125 will help catalyze the development of the nimble, diverse, resilient food and farming system our state needs to thrive.

Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
