Two Months Into the New Administration: How Food & Ag Movement Leaders Are Responding and How Philanthropy Can Support
March 28, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am PDT
In December 2024, we hosted a webinar with an expert panel to understand potential concerns regarding the incoming Administration. Unfortunately, many of those concerns have come to fruition. Now, because of the USDA’s freeze and termination of hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts to farmers and farm organizations, many nonprofits are in fiscal crisis.
Please join us on Friday, March 28th, for an update from the same expert panel to hear about how the crisis is evolving, what actions nonprofit and philanthropic leaders are taking, and what critical needs are not being met. We’ll talk about efforts to create active solutions to the crisis through narrative development, advocacy, legal guidance, and networks of support.
Panelists:
- Sarah Hackney, Coalition Director, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)
- Navina Khanna, Executive Director, HEAL Food Alliance
- Edna Rodriguez, Executive Director, Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI)
- Joe Shultz, Executive Director of the Platform for Agriculture & Climate Transformation (PACT)
The webinar will also include a brief update on the flow of USDA funds from a former senior USDA official.
To allow for open conversation, this webinar will not be recorded. Please join us live!
This webinar is sponsored by the Grassroots Farm Bill Project Team (Regenerative Agriculture Foundation, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, RAFI, and Waverley Street Foundation) in partnership with the Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders and Funders for Regenerative Agriculture.
