It’s simply the right thing to do.

@usda is in shambles, gutted by the current administration. There are tens of thousands of vacant positions in the department. Tom Vilsack is a good man and the right man to bring stability & get us focused on critical issues: climate change, supporting farmers, health, hunger.

Together, we can #SaveRestaurants! Join us in calling members of the House to demand they pass the Senate’s forthcoming bill as soon as possible. 💙💛 Call now: p2a.co/jrY3xhM
