At the National Rural Assembly 2015 gathering, many rural policy opportunities were discussed. Among those were:
-
Permanently renewing the Earned Income Tax Credit and Low-Income Child Tax Credit
-
Modernizing the Lifeline program to include broadband
-
#SaveRural Hospitals – Stopping further closures of rural hospitals
Below is video from a policy discussion at the Assembly that highlights the importance of each of these issues, as well as additional resources on each of these topics.
A snapshot of these and other rural policy priorities is available here.
