Who: Nikki Budzinski (D-IL)
Illinois Representative Nikki Budzinski (D) sits on the House Agriculture Committee and the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Before coming to Congress, she helped implement the American Rescue Plan and establish the Made in America Office to strengthen our economy.
Nine in ten persistent poverty communities in America are rural, but rural communities face barriers to accessing federal funding designed to help American communities thrive. These barriers include volunteer local government leaders with limited time, fewer philanthropic organizations to help meet federal match requirements, and smaller tax bases due to smaller populations available to invest in local infrastructure. By redesigning federal funding through this year’s Farm Bill to remove these barriers, rural communities will have a new opportunity to access federal resources to rebuild our thriving communities.
On April 24 at 4 PM Eastern Time, join RuralOrganizing.org Education Fund for a virtual event featuring remarks from Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski on what we can do to reinvest in the rural economies which are providing the economic backbone of our country.
Also hear from local leaders from across the country to explore the important issues and solutions facing rural communities in multiple regions.
