Trump Loyalists Are Behind Lawsuits Excluding Farmers of Color From Debt Relief, Professor Pahnke Writes for Truth Out

TRUTHOUT -- Anthony Pahnke is vice president of the Family Farm Defenders, and an assistant professor of International Relations at San Francisco State University in San Francisco. He wrote this opinion piece for TruthOut.

“The point is that these lawsuits against farmers of color have little to do with ‘equality before the law,’” Pahnke wrote. “Bankrolled by conservatives with political ambitions, this race-baiting, white-identity politicking is all about maintaining a conservative base of voters heading into 2022 and beyond.”
