Rural Coalition / Coalición Rural is a 48-year old alliance of more than 60 grassroots member organizations across the United States working to protect and sustain land, food, and rural communities. The Coalition includes diverse family farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, tribal communities, and rural advocates.

We bring our combined experience to bear on:

● Advancing policy responsive to the needs in these communities.

● Growing and sustaining community based groups trusted in their communities.

● Working to sustain justice, fairness, and economic dignity in rural communities.

● Providing effective outreach and technical assistance related to USDA programs.

● Elevating the lived experiences and collective voices of rural communities through communications and advocacy.

We remain steadfast in our mission to build a society grounded in

unity, hope, people, and the land.
