Bobby Rush: “I have to come down on the side of my constituents.”

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 am absolutely committed to the idea, and the potential, of trying to create a unity of will, a unity of spirit, and a unity of understanding, in terms of the whole cooperative sector of our society.

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