The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit that builds the people power it takes to win hard-fought campaigns and make real change on some of the most important issues of our day. Right now, the Fund is hiring activists to work on campaigns for America's leading grassroots action groups - here in Portland, we're working with OSPIRG on a campaign to stop the overuse of antibiotics.

Factory farms are using antibiotics in ways that they shouldn't be, giving a daily dose to animals that aren't even sick. In fact, 70% of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are sold to factory farms for use on healthy animals. This overuse breeds superbugs -- infections that are resistant to antibiotics, and some that can't be cured at all. Unfortunately, 23,000 Americans die each year from these antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

To protect our public health and keep antibiotics effective, we're calling on McDonald's to stop buying any meat raised on our life-saving medicines. 

McDonald's is the nation's largest purchaser of beef and a major purchaser of pork, so if they make this commitment, it could shift the whole market. To do this we need to show McDonald's that the public is calling for change.
