🌱🚜 Support farmers' access to credit! 🌾 This week, advocates nationwide are rallying behind the Fair Credit for Farmers Act. Farmers deserve fair treatment when accessing credit, and this bill aims to make that a reality. Using lessons learned from farmer financial crisis casework, Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI), National Family Farm Coalition, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition and Florida Organic Growers are supporting lending reforms in a bill introduced by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Alma Adams. The Fair Credit for Farmers Act directly addresses many of the barriers farmers face as they attempt to access credit at the Farm Service Agency. Credit is crucial for farmers to grow their businesses, but many face obstacles at the Farm Service Agency. The Fair Credit for Farmers Act will improve access and accountability in the loan application process. Take action now: Call your legislators and urge them to support this vital bill! Together, we can ensure farmers receive the support they need! Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gBaDZ-7M #FairCreditForFarmers #SupportFarmers #TakeAction

I wrote an op-ed for The Nation about my run for Commissioner of Agriculture; why this state-level seat is so often ignored; and why it matters for democracy. Decades of corrupt leadership, mismanagement, and fraud have gutted rural North Carolina. It's not just sad- it's driving radicalization and undermining our democracy. I'm running to invest in rural areas. We deserve a strong rural economy and a democracy that works for us. https://lnkd.in/eD6BT2Nk
