Pressley, Commissioner Randle Convene Urban Farmers and Environmental Stewards for Timely Discussion | 2026-08-14 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Democrat | House | MA | Ayanna Pressley | P000617 | pressley.house.gov | pressley | https://pressley.house.gov/news/ | scraper | “Urban agriculture is about more than just food—it is community in action, promoting food sovereignty, environmental justice, and climate resilience,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “While Trump and Republicans attack urban farmers and rip food away from our families, I’m grateful for the meaningful work done by the Commonwealth and cities like Everett to stand in the gap. It was a joy to see this work up close and discuss how we can continue creating more just, equitable, and sustainable communities.” “Urban agriculture is a movement and practice that helps to transform communities by tackling the root causes of injustices in food systems and nourishing the souls and stomachs of community members,” said Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) Commissioner Ashley Randle. “I am deeply grateful for the Congresswoman’s tireless advocacy in her district and beyond to ensure community voices are heard so we can continue advancing and deepening our support of urban agriculture across the Commonwealth. Together, we’re working to ensure that all community members have access to local, fresh food.” “Events like this are important because they bring together the people working at every level to improve access to fresh, healthy food,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “Here in Everett, we’re doing our part through our farmers markets, Community Fridge and partnerships with local organizations, while looking for new opportunities to expand urban agriculture and community gardening. I’m proud to see Everett be part of this larger effort to build healthier, more accessible food systems across Massachusetts.” | 1 | 2026-08-15T05:23:20Z | 2026-08-15T05:24:50Z |
