Many years of discriminatory practices in agency policies have led to many lawsuits for damages. Farmers, ranchers, and landowners across the United States contend that they were treated differently in the loan process due to aspects like race or disability status, as well as gender. This could, for instance, result in a loan official asking a Black farmer to put up much more collateral to obtain a loan than the collateral required by white farmers in the same financial circumstance.
USDA has a long-standing bias history and discrimination, focusing on discrimination against Black farmers. The constant efforts of the affected people to challenge the USDA’s accountability have led to the legal framework that underpins the current claims. In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law to provide financial aid for those who have suffered this unfair treatment. The IRA expressly acknowledges the discrimination suffered by women and minority farmers. It aims to give the possibility of financial compensation for people who have been negatively affected by discrimination.

I was stuck! My wife’s cancer was discovered due to J&J Talcum but was denied coverage by the company. My appeal was denied. After that, Team of The Justice Now was involved. They fought with me. My lawyer was hard-working, thorough and determined and won my case. I’m not sure where I’d be in the absence of The Justice Now.
