Join our Coalition
As a member of Rural Coalition, you join a coalition of grassroots community-based and national organizations dedicated to the values reflected in the core principles that have guided our work since our founding in 1978:
All rural people are entitled to the goods and services essential to a decent quality of life, including education, health and employment services, housing and basic community facilities. They are also entitled to community institutions dedicated to serving their interests.
The long-term vitality of rural communities rests on effective control and use of resources by the people living in rural areas, including family farmers, local business people and working people of all walks of life.
Community-Based Organizations have often been instrumental in the development of rural communities. Public policy should encourage their growth and strength.
It is the responsibility of the federal government to ensure the rights of all citizens and to help secure the fulfillment of these principles
