Four corporations control the meat industry, one corporation controls most of soy, five corporations control 90% of global grain markets, four corporations control most of the seed market, only an handful of corporations control most of the ag equipment market, and more. Even just 25 years ago, this was not the case. These corporations squeeze family farmers out of business while also raising prices for consumers. We call for the Department of Justice and other agencies to break up Big Ag.
We call upon the Texas Democratic Party to allow remote voting for State Delegates starting in 2026. This measure, which passed the Permanent Rules Committee in 2024 but was killed by the quorum break, will allow delegates who are unable to attend in person to still have their voices heard. Too few Democrats are able to truly participate in the State Convention -- whether due to not being able to take time off from work, limited financial resources, illness, and more. This reform will allow them to participate in the governance of their Party.
