Rural Assembly Everywhere: Nurturing Thriving Communities takes place virtually August 1 and you are invited.
The Rural Assembly event will focus on the ways that advocates, organizations, and informal groups are enriching communities and celebrate the many ways differences are already being made.
What is The Rural Assembly?
The organization is
a vibrant movement of people advocating for a more equitable and diverse nation. We recognize the pivotal role rural America plays in shaping our country’s narrative and decisions. Our focus is on amplifying diverse rural voices across a range of platforms, from local to national, including media, policy, and convening forums.
Our mission is to empower and amplify rural voices by providing a platform for sharing stories and challenging existing stereotypes. For more than a decade, the Assembly has built relationships within and across local to national leadership, with people and places who represent the rich diversity of the rural experience. We create opportunities for them to work together to amplify rural challenges and rural strengths in ways that will yield more inclusive narratives, policies, and outcomes. (Source)
