CAFO Toolkit

Stop CAFOs Action Toolkit

When a CAFO wants to move into your community, you have a limited window of time and likely limited resources to fight it. This toolkit will help you learn how to build a team of supporters and make smart use of your resources to launch an effective campaign to stop CAFOs in your community. Whether this is your first fight or you’re a seasoned activist, this toolkit can help you achieve the greatest impact and keep your community healthy and free of CAFO pollution.

You Can Make A Difference

The fastest way to get a CAFO in your community is to stay silent when one tries to come to town. The only way to protect your community from the negative health, environmental, and economic impacts of CAFOs is to speak out and stop proposed CAFOs before they move in.

Rarely, one voice can be enough to make change. But always one voice is necessary to start building a movement. YOU can make the difference and protect your community from CAFOs.

This toolkit can teach you how to:

1.

Do Your Research
