RURAL ASSEMBLY EVERYWHERE
WGAP (Washington Gorge Action Programs) is looking forward to hosting the Rural Assembly Everywhere broadcast.
This is a free virtual gathering
that welcomes 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.
Rural Assembly Everywhere brings together people from across the country who care deeply about their rural places, neighbors, and community issues. This year, Rural Assembly Everywhere will be connecting communities both during their digital broadcast and with over 30 in-person site gatherings in rural places across the country.
The virtual broadcast will feature conversations around topics that impact rural places including an interview with Mary Annette Pember, author of “Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools”, a panel on supporting your neighbors through mutual aid, and a conversation about effectively funding rural. There will also be performances and stories from rural artists, musicians, and community leaders.
Following the broadcast we will have a conversation about funding challenges and opportunities specific to the rural areas of Klickitat/Skamania counties.
