The long journey to justice for black farmers may almost be over. In May 2009, President Obama said that he wanted $1.15 billion in the 2010 budget to pay black farmers for discrimination by the USDA.
But Congress has not acted, and time is running out. Tell Congress it’s time for justice. Attend one of our Fairness Now Rallies for Black Farmers, sign the petition on this site and spread the word: No more waiting!
