reclaiming the rural story
in North Central Washington

It’s getting harder and harder to just make it in rural Washington. Wages are stagnant, we’re getting priced out, and it’s projected that our children will be poorer than we are.

We all know the ground is eroding beneath us, yet divisive politics and a stolen rural narrative are keeping our communities apart.

The Rural People’s Platform is reclaiming the rural narrative in North Central Washington. We know it’s hard to change minds. Instead, we need to build a new shared vision — one of a thriving economy that works for working people.

We need to think and act big. Our 501(c)3, Rural People’s Platform, will tell the real story of our rural neighbors-- who we are, what we value, and how we get a better future. From podcasts and social media, to billboards and radio, our media and grassroots campaigns will reach all corners of our community to advance a rural economy that provides for our families; supports our small businesses, farms, and industries; and protects our land and water for generations to come.

Let’s reclaim our rural story. Join us.
