BUILDING CIVIC COURAGE
The focus of this meeting will be how we build a more inclusive nation, viewed through a lens of civic courage. We'll explore a number of questions, such as: What does civic courage look like? Why is civic courage important for achieving policy change? How are rural people strengthening our democracy? How do we amplify wise, diverse, and informed rural voices in ways that promote better policies?
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
We welcome local, regional, and national rural leaders and advocates representing diverse geographies, cultures, ages, and issue areas.
