We are excited to announce the release of the first ever Young Farmers Accountability Report! If you haven’t heard about it, the 2020 Young Farmers Accountability Report provides an account of the national organization’s investments to advance racial justice in the agriculture system, and shares the overarching framework of our organization’s racial equity transformation, including goals, achievements, and missteps.

Interested in hearing more about what the other side of the Accountability Report looks like? Eager to get your questions about the report answered? Wondering about the upcoming webinars and our consulting services? Join us for a conversation on Wednesday, June 23rd with:

Jessica Manly, Communications Director
Michelle A.T. Hughes, Equity and Organizational Change Director
Sophie Ackoff, Co-Executive Director
Martín Lemos, Co-Executive Director
Kellee Matsushita, Board Member

Throughout the hour, Jessica will facilitate a discussion between Michelle, Sophie, Martin and Kellee, four of the report's largest contributors. We'll talk about our institutional memory and the importance of documenting our process, what the findings of the report mean for the future of Young Farmers, and the many obstacles we foresee as we continue this work.

If you haven't read the Young Farmers Accountability Report, you should still attend the webinar!
