Listening Sessions to inform USDA’s efforts to advance Racial Justice and Equity
Each speaker will have 5 minutes to make remarks. Your speaking time slot will be determined on a first-come, first-serve basis at which you register for a listening session. A list of the speaking order will be sent to participants in advance.
USDA’s Racial Equity Commission will use this information to address systemic inequities and increase participation in USDA programs, services, committees, and decision-making processes.
