Registration/tickets required
Please join NETWORK, Sister Simone, and Lawrence O’Donnell for the release of Raising Rural Voices: Listening to the Hopes and Hardships of Rural Communities, on Tuesday, February 25th at the National Press Club. Last year, NETWORK staff visited 17 rural communities, listening and documenting the concerns of those communities. From immigration to health care to transportation, the report findings showcase how rural problems need rural solutions, and all too often, policymakers fail to address these issues.
With the goal of helping to raise rural voices and concerns, the NETWORK team will host a discussion at the National Press Club. Please RSVP by February 21, 2020 to join us for this important conversation.
