Perdue Chicken CAFO in Petaluma
Vote Yes On Measure J
To Stop Factory Farming
Yes to protect animals
Yes to protect our environment
Yes to protect public health
Yes to protect small farms
Measure J will set a limit on the number of animals that can be confined in a commercial operation by prohibiting Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). CAFOs are the largest, most destructive animal factory farms.
Sonoma County is well-known for its hundreds of small family farms. But throughout the county, around two dozen CAFOS are operating in near secrecy.
These industrial facilities harm animals, pollute our air and water, and spread disease. They are not in line with the values of Sonoma County residents.

If our legislators won’t act to solve the problem, we will. That's why the Coalition to End Factory Farming is using the ballot measure process, a process which provides citizens an opportunity to take the power back and directly pass legislation ourselves.
Together, we can start the transition away from these destructive factory farms and use our collective power to build a better world for all! Vote yes on J on November 5!
