Food Policy Action releases 2020 Scorecard: Vote!
Food Policy Action started keeping score on congressional votes on food issues in 2013, but the last time I wrote about its scorecard was in 2017.2020
It has just published its 2020 interactive Scorecard, which you can use to check how your state’s legislators score on food issues.
As Food Policy Action puts it, the “scorecard underscores Senate’s failure to feed hungry, protect workers.”
Food Policy Action identifies six ways Trump has hurt eaters, food workers and farmers.
The purpose of the Scorecard is to hold legislators accountable. Now is the time to do that.
Vote with your votes by November 3.
