Create opportunities for diverse and beginning farmers

Farmers of color have experienced a long history of discrimination, some of it at the hands of the federal government. From 1910 to 1997, black farmers were stripped of 90% of black-owned farmland. They received a mere fraction of the value of the land they lost — a staggering loss of wealth that is a major contributor to the racial wealth gap. My plan will end the policies that have perpetuated this discrimination and help rural families of color build wealth and sustainable livelihoods.

Addressing the systematic dispossession of land in communities of color, including Black farmers and Native American communities. Over the past century, Black farmers were stripped of 90% of black-owned farmland and received a mere fraction of the value of the land they lost — largely because they held the land as “heirs’ property,” an unstable and much-exploited form of ownership. I will establish programs to assist heirs’ property owners and make sure they retain access to their land, including building on successes in the 2018 Farm Bill to allow heirs’ property owners to present additional types of documentation to not only access USDA programs, but also other federal programs in FEMA and HUD. I will also fully fund the relending program enacted in the 2018 Farm Bill to expand support services for farmers of color, including legal and technical assistance to help farmers hold on to their land — and prioritize lending organizations operating in states that have enacted model legislation that protects heirs’ property ownership.

Native American communities have also experienced challenges related to fractionated land ownership. This problem was caused by a destructive federal policy from the late 1800s that allotted tribal lands held in common to individual tribal members and sold additional tribal lands to non-Native settlers and commercial interests. This policy eventually led to roughly two-thirds of all reservation lands being taken from tribes without compensation. Several generations later, individual tribal allotments are now co-owned by many people — sometimes hundreds or thousands — making it difficult to use the land or coordinate activities on it.

Government policy created this problem, and government must help fix it. That’s why I will expand funding for the Indian Tribal Land Acquisition Loan Program and the Highly Fractionated Indian Land Loan Program, USDA programs that help tribal governments acquire land and preserve it for future generations. And I will also push Congress to provide another infusion into the Trust Land Consolidation Fund..

Expand access to credit and land for new and diverse farmers. Women and farmers of color have been disproportionately excluded from accessing the credit and land they need to farm. The Farm Credit System was founded a century ago as a government-sponsored enterprise to provide credit for farmers — but it has strayed from its central mission and instead is pocketing big profits. I will require FCS to allocate 10% of its $5 billion in annual profits towards supporting new and diverse farmers through regional lending mechanisms. I will make sure that farmers can access land, too, by stopping foreign interests from buying up American farmland and expanding the use of programs like the transition incentives program. Native American Community Development Financial Institutions also provide crucial access to credit in underbanked areas and for underbanked businesses, especially farmers. We should provide significant financial support to Native CDFIs.

Invest in protecting the civil rights of farmers of color. I will fully fund and staff USDA’s Office of Civil Rights and administrative law courts — so that they have the resources necessary to resolve discrimination complaints at a reasonable pace. I will direct regular audits of USDA to ensure that it is not discriminating against farmers of color in issuing loans or subsidy grants. And I will increase the agency’s transparency by creating an online civil rights database that would regularly report on the complaint process.

Get that energy into jobs rather than white supremacy...I like it it.

She's addressing heirs' property, sit your asses over there for the rest of the day

exactly.

Can't lie...Biden killed this

This is why he is leading, FYI.

 

[Mook]

She's gonna give 85 billion dollars so the rednecks in Iowa can call me a ****** and spic faster. Kiss my ass I can't vote for her.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

The gawd endorses Bernie.

 

[Dat Migo]

Y'all so damn short sighted. Warren's plan is about making rural America more attractive to minorities and young people aka Democratic voters. you guys think is going to happen in the house and senate when we're all living in 15-20 states in 20 years?

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

200 billion on cacs. She's lost me, I hope Bernie beats her.

Really? So you’re against helping people that hurting in rural communities? Not only cacs live in rural communities. Go to places in GA and Mississippi and you’ll see black people living in the middle of nowhere.

 

[JoogJoint]

Yeah and he's not running for president. He's had his autonomy from his Dad for a long time now, whatever he does reflects poorly on him and him alone.

It does say a lot about his parenting if all his kids are f_cked up. If he can't even parent well, why would he be a good president?

This is how some voters think and I believe it's a good point.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I


Comparing Elizabeth Warren to Obama is like comparing JR Smith to Michael Jordan.



That Obama type wave not happening for Warren.

no one is saying she will have the wave of obama, that's likely a once in a lifetime event for us, but her gaining in the polls is clearly feasible as it has currently been happening

 

[dtownreppin214]

Look at the white women y'all. It's going to take a herculean effort from minorities to vote this clown out.
