Bobby Rush: “I am truly excited to hold this morning's hearing focusing on HR 1315, the Blue Collar to Green Collar Jobs Development…”

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?

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.

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

We on the Agriculture Committee have a special and unique mission to try to help solve the problem of Black farmers in our nation.
