Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ‘Great Leap Forward’ – DEI and Reparations Agriculture Land Seizure Scheme

Gavin Newsom created a task force to address ‘the agricultural land equity crisis’

For a peek into how California Governor Gavin Newsom would rule the country if elected President, look no further than his California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force. This ambiguous agency was buried within the state budget in 2022 during Newsom’s statewide Covid lockdown, when media was not allowed near the governor or Legislature.

“Established in the California Budget Act of 2022 (AB 179, Ting), the California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force is an independent 13-member body directed to ‘submit a report (by Jan. 1, 2026) to the Legislature and Governor…that includes a set of policy recommendations on how to address the agricultural land equity crisis.’”

You read that right. Gavin Newsom created a task force to address “the agricultural land equity crisis.”

What agricultural land equity crisis?

The report the Equity Task Force recently released recommending a land grab from white farmers reads like a “How To” Marxism 101 manual at UC Berkeley.

One of their primary grievances is that “demographic trends in landownership differ greatly from those of agricultural labor in California;” i.e. not enough farm workers own the land on which they work.

By that logic, not enough teachers own the schools where they teach, or not enough dockworkers own the ships they load and unload.

This is their definition of agricultural land equity:

“Agricultural land equity is when all people have secure and affordable access to viable land for the care, relationship with, and cultivation of food, fiber, medicine, and cultural resources without systemic barriers, disparities, or exploitation.”

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins just sent Gov. Newsom a letter demanding that he “reject and abandon any attempt to pursue the illegal recommendations in the Equity Task Force’s report. It is unconscionable that hardworking farmers are being demeaned and shut out of opportunities simply because they don’t meet the state’s definition of ‘equity.’”

Rollins says Newsom is violating the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendments – the equal protection and takings clause, as well as a violation of California’s Proposition 209, a ban on affirmative action, passed by California voters in 1996, which prohibits discrimination or preferential treatment by the state, public universities, public employment, or other public entities, and banned affirmative action policies, enshrined in the California Constitution. In 2020, voters even reaffirmed the ban on affirmative action policies and practices by voting down Proposition 16, 57% to 42%.

Gavin Newsom is concocting new ways to drive up food inflation by handing over land and natural resources to California Native American tribes, minority groups and who they deem as generally aggrieved.

The report even recommends the development of local ordinances to restrict citizens from purchasing land unless they are part of a certain minority group.
