Right now, 80% of antibiotics in the US are used on factory farms,
primarily to make animals grow faster and to compensate for filthy
conditions. This is not how our antibiotics should be used. Low doses
of drugs only kill some of the bacteria, leaving behind the stronger
bugs, and when humans get sick, these antibiotics may no longer work
to make us better.

Form the organizers: "I want to live in a world where life-saving
medications will be there when my family members get sick, but factory
farms are playing by their own set of rules and putting the rest of us
in danger. That’s why we're launching a nationwide effort right here
in Providence, to pass local resolutions showing Congress and Senator
Sheldon Whitehouse that the people want action to ban the overuse of
antibiotics on factory farms. And we need your help! RSVP here to join
the campaign to make factory farms stop abusing our antibiotics!"
