Rollins announced the cancellation of the grant in a video on Wednesday.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was reportedly using the funds to educate queer, Black and indigenous, and transgender farmers and consumers in the San Francisco Bay area about “food justice and values-aligned markets.”
