The Importance of Rural Voters

In Newsweek, Executive Director Sarah Jaynes makes the case for engaging rural voters during this election. She draws on our recent polling and shares work from our grantees.

This year's election is an opportunity for communities to build power. Groups like SURJ and New Rural Project provide a model for engaging rural voters: listen, understand, and fight for the tools and resources working families need to thrive.
