Building a society grounded in unity, hope, people, and the land.
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.
251 farmers, organizers, advocates, and allies gathered in person in D.C. for our 17th Annual Winter Forum in January 2026. An additional 83 participants joined virtually. Participants engaged in workshops, technical assistance, Hill visits, live music, documentary screenings, and more. We brought in our 48th year of fellowship with our member groups and community leaders to align on how to address the challenges and ongoing needs of rural communities. We focused on land, labor, policy, and power—grounded in lived experience and collective action.
