The Road to Repair

Rural Assembly Everywhere returns April 20 & 21, to mark time together, to wrestle with questions about how we build a nation that serves all of us, and to respond to calls for unity and repair. Once again, we invite rural advocates and the rural-curious, listeners and leaders, neighbors and admirers, to participate in programming that features experts and poets, civic leaders and culture-bearers. Rural Assembly Everywhere will feature keynote speakers, performers, and panel discussions from 2 to 4 p.m. ET; breakout sessions from 5 to 6:30 p.m. ET, and Happy Hours at 7 p.m. ET each day.
