This bill would strengthen the quality and delivery of technical assistance for urban and innovative producers, allow partnerships with community experts, and expand farmers’ access to grant funding. “Food security is national security,” said Senator Slotkin. “We must be able to feed ourselves, by ourselves, and that starts with putting American farmers first. By design, the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act delivers much-needed relief to producers nationwide by expanding grants, increasing funding and resources for our underserved farmers, while also boosting urban farming investment in Detroit and for community gardens in places like Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.” The Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act increases investment in the USDA’s Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (OUAIP) through mandatory funding ($15M/FY) to offer this important program a more sustainable funding source. It also makes programmatic reforms to the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (OUAIP) to improve the content and delivery of technical assistance to urban and innovative producers, enables cooperative agreements with community experts, increases access to grant funds directly to farmers, and scales up composting and food waste initiatives. The bill is also co-sponsored by U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-PA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Tina Smith (D-MN), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO).

Slotkin has pressed Hegseth on illegal orders, use of military against American protestors, and the deploying troops in our streets. Hegseth comes before the Senate Armed Services Committee in the middle of the Administration’s war in Iran that still has no defined goal and no end in sight and at the same time the Pentagon has purged almost two dozen senior military officers. January 2025 — Armed Services Nomination Hearing: Slotkin pressed Hegseth on whether he would follow an illegal or unconstitutional order from Trump , stating, “should President Trump give an illegal order… you are going to be the guy that he calls to implement this order.” WATCH HERE June 2025 — Armed Services Hearing on Military Deployments: Slotkin questioned Hegseth over whether he had authorized the military to arrest, detain, or use lethal force on unarmed domestic protesters. Hegseth said that troops could “if necessary, in their own self-defense, temporarily detain” protesters to hand over to ICE. WATCH HERE In the past, Hegseth himself has made the same claim as Slotkin did in her No Illegal Orders video . Despite this, the Administration continued to pursue legal action against the lawmakers in the video. ### Read The Latest Updates More Updates Slotkin, Klobuchar, Colleagues Raise Concerns about the USDA Research, Education, and Economics Mission Area Reorganization WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), both members...
