Your voice is needed in the halls of your state capital and in Washington, D.C., to ensure that lawmakers understand how their decisions affect your business, your family, your community and the U.S. Pork Industry's ability to provide consumers a safe, affordable and healthy supply of pork. LEADR is a effective grassroots movement for trained volunteers who can be mobilized rapidly to advance important pork industry issues or defend against bad public policy.
