Bobby Rush: “I urge you to make sure that the bill your Committee develops adequately protects and fosters the resources my community…”

I am extremely interested in member cooperatives, and I am looking forward to ways to expand ag co-ops to urban areas.

What specific policies would you recommend to combat the historic and current discrimination too often faced by Black and Brown farmers in your respective industries?

Discrimination and prejudice absolutely should not be tolerated in any government program, any organization, or any individual.

I urge the members of this Select Committee to co-sponsor this important legislation and hope to see it passed before the end of the 117th Congress.
