Greetings Rural Coalition Members, Allies, and Friends,

In the past year, our grassroots community based members have demonstrated the power of cooperation to get things done.  With our member group Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, we reached over 200 of the nation’s most vulnerable rural communities with life saving vaccines. Fifteen Rural Co member groups held over 1,000 events, reaching over 400,000 people directly and almost 1.4 million by all means.  With our sister organizations, we fought for (and won) debt payment and discrimination financial assistance.  We did this in the face of litigation that sought to halt the critical kind of aid the farmers we serve really need after decades of exclusions.

On Giving Tuesday, your support is vital to continue and build this work from the grassroots up.  

We have a big year ahead. In 2023, Congress will craft a landmark Farm Bill in the face of a growing climate collapse. Our members are crafting policies directed towards securely connecting the next diverse generation of farmers and ranchers to care for the land nurtured by those who came before them.

In 2023, we also celebrate our 45th year!  For the first time since 2011, we are planning a full Rural Coalition Assembly.  We’ll engage our growing membership in mapping out a future for our collective efforts.  Please join us as we launch this planning process at our upcoming Winter Forum in Washington, DC January 19-20th. 

We are deeply grateful for your continued support for our unique and deeply rooted Coalition. Together we have power to build the future our wide network of rural members envision for their communities.  

Please support their ongoing efforts by making your unrestricted gift or donation here. 

With deep gratitude,

The Members, Board and Staff of the Rural Coalition
