Program Description
The Rural Coalition is a unique alliance of over 80 culturally diverse communitybased groups in the United States and Mexico who advocate equality and sustainable development in rural communities. The Rural Coalition is committed to promoting the long term viability of rural communities. RC members progressive national policies and programs that are responsive to the unique needs of rural communities, with a special focus on fair trade and justice for minority farmers and farmworkers.
The Rural Coalition works to unite and build the capacity and promote the involvement of community based organizations in changing policy and participating in community economic development. It operates an online Supermarket Cooperatives at www.supermarketcoop.com where its members sell their products and learn marketing stategies. RC members have also participated in many communitybased research projects designed to assess problems in their community and seek solutions.
