Rural Assembly Everywhere is a free virtual gathering for rural leaders, community members, advocates, and allies. It is a space to imagine new ways of expanding opportunity, share resources, and build a more connected, thriving rural America.

The 90 minute virtual broadcast is streamed via Crowdcast, and there are opportunities around the country to get together in person. It is free and accessible to anyone who wishes to join.

There are two options:

1. Join online. When our event opens, sign up on Crowdcast. The broadcast will feature conversations with leading voices in rural, music, and spotlights on rural communities across the country. There will be a live chat where you can connect with your neighbors and fellow community members.
2. Join in person. This year, there will be dozens of community gatherings which will meet in person to watch a selection of the Everywhere broadcast, talk about local issues, and have a chance to come together in celebration of what makes our rural communities special.

Rural Assembly will be recruiting 30 site partners to host local gatherings during the week of Everywhere. If you are interested in hosting an in-person gathering, please join us for an informational session on either February 4 and February 18 – register here.

Partners receive a $500 stipend to plan and host an in person gathering. This is a chance to build on community efforts that already exist, tap into national conversations, and meet other rural organizers around the country in the process!
