No. of Paragraph 16

Supporting the economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.

Washington, DC, Tuesday, March 7, 2023 — Today, hundreds of farmers and food and farm systems advocates gathered for the Farmers for Climate Action: Rally for Resilience, part of a mass mobilization calling on lawmakers to prioritize climate solutions in the 2023 Farm Bill. Participants hailed from 40 US states and 2 territories. 

The rally kicked off in Freedom Plaza with a roster of speakers including Chili Yazzie, David Senter, Marielena Vega, Angela Dawson, Norysell Massanet, Julieta Saucedo, Yadi Wang, Yanely Martinez, Claudia Lenz, and Helga Garcia-Garza, who shared personal stories of how the climate crisis affects their livelihoods and communities. They also spoke about how sustainable agricultural practices help mitigate climate change and urged Congress to include critical support for Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) producers in the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill. Ray Jeffers served as the rally’s Master of Ceremonies. Jeffers is the owner and operator of B.R. Jeffers Farm, a century farm in Roxboro, NC. He is the Farmers of Color Network Director at RAFI-USA and was recently elected to the state House of Representatives in North Carolina.

Live performers included Shirlette Ammons, Lil Idli and John Mellencamp, a Farm Aid co-founder and board member who headlined. Legendary musician and farmer advocate Willie Nelson also shared a video message next to a fully electric tractor provided by Solectrac and one of the original tractors that appeared in the 1979 tractorade to Washington. As the rally concluded, participants took to the streets, marching from Freedom Plaza to Capitol Hill to call on members of Congress to ensure that the next farm bill reflects real, inclusive, and systematic change.
