Campaign for Family Farms and the
Environment (CFFE)
CFFE was formed in 1995 by Midwestern
farm groups working to stop factory farms and protect and promote
family hog farmers. Iowa CCI has been a part of CFFE for the past
12 years. Other members include:
Farm Aid, http://www.farmaid.org/org/
Farm Aid has been supporting family
farms and rural communities since 1985. Farm Aid co-founder and
country music legend Willie Nelson has participated in CCI rallies
and press conferences.
Jefferson County Farmers and Neighbors, http://jfaniowa.org/
JFAN is a like-minded organization that CCI works with to stand up for family farms and the environment and create tougher standards for the factory farm industry.
National Family Farm Coalition,
http://www.nffc.net
Iowa CCI works with other grassroots
farm and rural community groups through the National Family Farm
Coalition (NFFC). NFFC is made up of 30 groups from across the country
that are working to change federal farm policy and address other
national issues.
National People's Action, http://www.npa-us.org/
CCI has been a part of National People's
Action (NPA) since we started in 1975. NPA works with CCI and other
organizations that fight to hold public and private institutions
accountable to grassroots citizens.
Western Organization of Resource
Councils, http://www.worc.org/
Since 1994, we have worked with the
Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC) to figure out ways
to increase grassroots support for Iowa CCI and build our organization.
WORC is an association of membership-based community organizations
working on farm and mining issues throughout the high plains (Montana,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon).
