I will NOT be supporting President Bidens re-election campaign.
Biden has failed to protect Americans from Farm Foreclosures! I am calling for USDA Resignations & Congressional Oversight of IRA Sections 22006 & 22007.
This is a brief history of Black farmers in America and explains some of the issues we see today relating to Black farmers and land owners. The National Black Farmers Association is the oldest and largest Black farming organization in the country.
From Fox News - Cattle farmer warns plunging beef supply has reached crisis point: 'Americans are going to pay the price' Cattle farmer warns plunging beef supply has reached crisis point: 'Americans are going to pay the price'
I’m urging everyone to sign our Farm Foreclosure Moratorium petition to save EVERY American farm. We need your support to show congressional leaders that their decisions and treatment of America’s producers is NOT going unnoticed. Please sign and share👩🏾🌾
No more broken promises! It’s time the government be held accountable for these discriminatory and predatory practices. The National Black Farmers Association was created to fight for Black and minority farmers. Our voices will not be silenced!
#40AcresAndAMule
150 yrs ago, the Federal Government broke its promise of 40 acres & a mule to Black soldiers who fought in the Union Army… they've once AGAIN broken their vow of aid w/ the repeal of section 1005 of the American Rescue Act. Black and minority farmers need their compensation NOW!
@notcapnamerica
Im very sorry that you’re not aware of the scope of the full situation.
Black farmers have lost (and continue to lose) millions of acres of land due to our own federal government. Black farmers are facing extinction.
They can discriminate by race but never fix it by race!
The
@USDA
discriminatory practices have hurt millions of black family farms by taking their land. In this interview with
@CrossConnection
and
@AttorneyCrump
I share my history and experience within the USDA.
We are tired of the “listening sessions” WE NEED ACTION NOW!!
Here is my interview with
@msnbc
where I speak about the historical discrimination that has left minority farmers in the position they are today. More can be done by the administration.
“White laborers from South Africa were hired over Black farm workers, and were paid more money for doing the exact same kind of work”
I was notified of this injustice by Black farmers in Mississippi. Thank you to
@BobbyScott
for hearing me on this issue and the
@theGrio
team
I am urging all of you to sign the
#NoMentholBan
petition to stop a policy that targets Farmers and Black smokers. We are losing Black Farmers at a rapid rate in this country. Farmers should not have to deal with economic consequences of a biased gov’t! 🧑🏾🌾
@POTUS
promised me a meeting during his 2020 presidential campaign in SC and has yet to follow up on his promise
He signed ARPA into law which included section 1005, providing farmers with 120% debt relief, only to REPEAL it a year later in IRA. Biden turned his back on farmers!
Black Farmers are facing Farm Foreclosure, and facing extinction. NBFA President Boyd calls on
@POTUS
@JoeBiden
to honor his commitment for a face-time meeting!
Inflation is "bankrupting" farmers, says John Boyd Jr., Pres. of the National Black Farmers Association. Input costs have gone up across the board, and Biden "continues to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to America's farmers." | National Report
@JWBoydNBFA
USDA's historical discrimination against Black Farmers was rampant and severe. Sec. 1005 was a necessary step towards fixing those harms. To acknowledge and correct racism is not unconstitutional. Now,
@JoeBiden
must issue a farm foreclosure moratorium!
“We’ve lost millions of acres of land, we’ve lost our way of living…It was white farmers who got basically all the debt relief for the 30 years I was asking Congress & the courts to provide debt relief to Black farmers.”

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speaks on Americas systemic exclusion of the Black farmer, while favoring white farmers.
“When we come to Washington, in this campaign, we’re coming to get our check.”
Rest in Peace
@TheCarlWeathers
a very classy man. Much Respect for his life body of work. And a big thank you, for the interest in bringing my story to the big screen. He will be missed.
The land China is buying is farmland. The Chinese government is sending people to farm auctions, & skyrocketing the price of land out of the American farmers reach!
Measures have to be put in place to ensure the future of Farmers & American livelihoods. What is our govt doing?
National Black Farmers President Boyd's Official Statement on President Biden's Failure to Execute Presidential All-Inclusive Farm Foreclosure Moratorium
Black history is American history, & should be honored & celebrated every day of the year.
As we remember the hard-fought achievements, contributions, & sacrifices - lets also remember to support & thank Black farmers 👨🏾🌾
We are still fighting for justice!
#BlackHistoryMonth
Join the NBFA tomorrow in Columbia, SC! 🧑🏾🌾
Politicians too often take the Black vote for granted. It is time to speak up & speak loud with our Black farmers vote!
We will also be providing updates about DFAP, lawsuits, & USDA programs

It’s been one week since I took my mule, Jesus, to Capitol Hill to symbolize this country’s broken promises to Black people. The promised debt relief for Black farmers was repealed and Congress thought we would remain silent. Thankful to have
@AttorneyCrump
in this fight 👨🏿🌾
My condolences on the passing of my good friend, Joe Madison. 🕊️
I thank him for his support, leadership, and for having me on his show to share the plight of the Black farmers. It was an honor. A true radio legend. 🎙️
