Building Trust through Partnership
Rural Promise USA is made up of people in and from rural areas coming together to build a platform of advocacy for rural communities across the country. We feel for too long the dominant discourse in this country has neglected these communities and believe the more empowered and prosperous rural and small-town America becomes, the more our national divides will narrow and our nation as a whole will be strengthened. Let’s all work towards building our communities with each other, not against one another.
Attaining Equity through Shared Prosperity
As seen from mounting examples, divisions in this country falling largely along urban and rural boundaries are becoming a serious threat to the continued survival of our republic. Rural Promise USA is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization created to address this by engaging with rural areas in working to fulfill their inherent promise through education on policies, resources, and priorities that increase opportunity and prosperity for the people in these communities.
Sustaining Unity through Perseverance
Rural Promise USA’s logo is an olive branch. Long used as a symbol for peace and goodwill, it was chosen as it is representative of persistence as well. Olive trees can thrive for hundreds of years and are so resilient that even if the above-ground structure is destroyed their root system can regenerate a tree that will again bear fruit. Also incorporated into the logo are the colors of our nation’s flag to reflect the ideals this country was founded upon and this organization’s ongoing commitment to realizing them.
Making Progress through Inclusion
Our first step: listening to you! Are you part of a rural community? What do you feel is holding your community back from fulfilling its promise? What has already helped bring it prosperity, or what do you feel is ready to if given the proper opportunity? Your voice matters and we want to hear from you. Send us what’s on your mind.
