Friend,

The food system in our country is broken.

In February, I joined the Senate’s Agriculture Committee to fight for racial justice, environmental justice, economic justice, and food justice in America.

Our country’s painful history of forcing Black farmers out of agricultural spaces needs to be addressed. Years of outright theft, fraud, abuse, and so much more have caused deep, systemic harm to Black farmers.

In 1920, there were nearly 1 million Black farmers in the US. Today, there are fewer than 50,000. Historically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has discriminated against Black and brown farmers making it extremely difficult to receive loans or credit. Under the Trump Administration, direct loans to Black farmers plummeted by half.

After joining the Agriculture Committee, I knew I needed to get to work right away. That’s why I introduced the Justice for Black Farmers Act , the Climate Stewardship Act , and the Farm System Reform Act which focus on delivering justice and reforming our damaged food system.

While we’ll never be able to fully undo the consequences of years of discrimination, we can at least restore land, provide land grants, and implement systemic reforms to protect Black farmers.

However, with the Senate split 50-50, it’s virtually impossible for Democrats to implement these critical reforms. That’s why we need to expand our slim Democratic majority in 2022. Once Mitch McConnell can’t obstruct our push for progress, we can finally enact the legislative reforms demanded by voters in the 2020 election.

With the FEC end-of-quarter deadline less than a week away, can you pitch in right now to ensure I have the resources to help protect and expand our Democratic majorities? I’m committed to passing reform to repair our broken food system but first, I need your support.
