89 Counties Adopt the Master Matrix Resolution in 2019

This year 89 counties passed the Master Matrix resolution. The Master Matrix resolution gives supervisors the ability to recommend factory farms for denial.

BIG shout out to everyone who contacted their supervisor about the Master Matrix resolution - you do great work.

We have the Master Matrix and it's a tool that we will use since we have it. But what we really need is a Moratorium.

You and I both know the Master Matrix is broken. It is no substitute for local control, and we have too many factory farms. What we really need is a moratorium.

Tell your county supervisors to pass a non binding moratorium resolution to send a strong message to elected officials that enough is enough. These non binding resolutions send a powerful message to the state legislature.

Tell your supervisors to pass a moratorium resolution by March 8th the legislatures “first funnel”.

A key day during the legislative session, this will show widespread support for our Moratorium bill. Twenty three counties have passed a resolution calling for stronger regulations, local control and even a moratorium on factory farms. Check out the map below to see if your county has passed a moratorium resolution.
