Protecting Federal Farm Funding and Programs: Legal Action and Philanthropy’s Role

The courts remain an essential avenue to thwart the Trump administration’s agenda to dismantle the federal government and slash federal spending. Almost three months into Trump’s second term, there are over 135 legal challenges to the administration’s actions.
In this webinar, lawyers at Earthjustice, the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), Democracy Forward, Farmers’ Legal Action Group (FLAG), and the Southern Environmental Law Center will discuss the landscape of litigation on behalf of farmers and nonprofits working in food and agriculture, what’s at stake, and philanthropy’s role in resourcing legal defense.
