Because of decades of institutional discrimination, farmers of color still have more difficulty getting loans and credit from the USDA. The American Rescue plan includes provisions to address these problems and provide economic relief. #SupportFarmersofColor

Farmers of color have received a small share of COVID farm aid in addition to the longstanding and widespread discrimination they have faced. The American Rescue Plan includes funds to #SupportFarmersofColor

White farmers collected nearly 97% of USDA’s pandemic payments. More must be done to #SupportFarmersofColor. The American Rescue Plan will help farmers of color who have faced longstanding discrimination and need help to weather the pandemic.

Maybe they weren't listening hard enough- Some of us have been pretty vocal about supporting this long overdue, needed and necessary legislation. Maybe Ag shouldn't have been so quiet about all the gatekeeping that created the UNDENIABLE inequities. #SupportFarmersofColor

The American Rescue Plan — the new COVID-19 relief package — includes important provisions to #SupportFarmersofColor including debt relief — an important start to address previous injustices, as well as to build a foundation for future debt relief legislation for small farmers.

Historically, freed slaves & their descendants often lacked a will to transfer their farms. In some states, third parties could force families off land through partition sales. Legislation is passing in states to prevent this. #SupportFarmersofColor

@RuralCo I called reminding my senators: BIPOC producers are our small and mid-scale specialty crop producers in rural areas receiving least of MFP and relief payments. Equitable Emergency debt relief is critical 4 equity and justice! #SupportFarmersofColor @PattyMurray @SenatorCantwell
