Rural Coalition is a public policy alliance focused on protecting and sustaining land, food systems, and rural communities across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The organization brings together a broad network of grassroots member groups, including family farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, tribal communities, and rural advocates, to advance responsive policies, sustain community-based groups, and promote economic dignity in rural areas. Operating from Washington, DC, the coalition emphasizes outreach and technical assistance related to USDA programs and aims to elevate rural voices through communications and advocacy. Founded to leverage collective experience in rural policy, Rural Coalition supports a diverse range of stakeholders in addressing shared challenges and opportunities in rural life. A recent collaboration noted in 2026 involves a partnership with Wildlife, Inc. to explore opportunities to enhance efficiency and accessibility of programs relevant to rural communities.
