At RFC, we stand firm in our dedication to justice, belonging, and liberation in agriculture. Despite a federal funding freeze on a USDA grant that supports outreach and translation – we are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring equitable access to farm training and education for folks who face increased barriers to entry in agriculture, including Black, Latine, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA2s+, disabled, and low-income individuals. We're working to create understanding, build bridges, and support everyone in their learning about ways to grow that respect the Earth. Donate today to ensure a just, inclusive agricultural future for all. https://roguefarmcorps.org/spring-campaign-25 (fb)
