On Nov 5th, 2024, Sonoma County will vote on whether to end Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (factory farms).

If the measure passes, 21 farms (together confining 3 million animals) in Sonoma County would have 3 years to either downsize or phase out their operations. The measure would also require the county to retrain or provide assistance to the people employed by these factory farms. If it passes, Sonoma would be the first county in the United States to ban factory farming.

Will Measure J pass?
