About this event
☎️ 🏛️ 🐷 OREGON SENATE CALL RELAY FOR ANIMALS: TARGET SENATORS MERKLEY & WYDEN!
With Farm Bill negotiations stalled during the August recess, we have a critical window to take action. The Save Our Bacon Act (SOBA) is a dangerous federal preemption bill that threatens to eliminate or jeopardize more than 600 state and local animal protection and food safety laws. If passed, it would represent one of the most significant rollbacks of animal welfare protections in modern history.
Join us as we flood the phone lines of U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden! Our goal is to urge both Senators to issue public statements in opposition to this dangerous legislation before our upcoming rallies. A firm public stance from Oregon’s Senate leadership will send a clear signal to congressional leaders to keep SOBA out of the final Farm Bill.
Our goal is to flood their D.C. lines throughout the day with dozens of constituent calls. The staff track phone call volume closely, and an overwhelming surge of calls directly before our rallies will make our movement impossible to ignore. Every single call helps build momentum!
Participation is easy, completely remote, and friendly to both experienced advocates and first-time activists:
