Advancing Us is our body of organizing work on policy and political education.

Alongside local and national partners, we advocate for our priorities around:

Access to land
Farmer training
Markets
Emergency farmer assistance and drought assistance
Ending discrimination in lending
Climate and environmental justice
Pollinator protections.

We host on-line and in-person trainings, engage farmers in Farm Bill and legislative advocacy and host listening and accountability sessions with policymakers and agricultural agencies throughout the year. For more information on our policy efforts, contact Zoe@midwestfarmersofcolor.org
