Organizing for America

Through Organizing for America, Americans across the country continue to organize in their communities and stand with President Obama to build support for President Obama's agenda and hold Washington accountable to America's call for change.The challenges we face can’t be solved by one person alone. We need you to get involved. Volunteer with Organizing for America.

"We are at that critical and urgent moment. If Washington continues policies that work against America's family farmers, our rural communities will fall further behind — and so will America. But if we reject the politics that has shut ordinary folks out, we can create a new story for rural America… The dreams of rural Americans are familiar to all Americans — to make a good living, to raise a healthy and secure family, and to leave our children a future of opportunity. It's time for real leadership for rural America to extend that American dream. That's the dream of opportunity that I've spent my life fighting for. And that's what our rural agenda will do."

Join Rural Americans for Obama

Now, more than ever, our nation needs a strong leader on the issues that affect our rural communities. Agriculture and rural communities stand at a crossroads. The increased demand for renewable energy and increased interest in greening our economy holds tremendous promise for job creation and new opportunities for rural communities and the agriculture sector. At the same time, rural families face challenges created by irresponsible political decisions made in recent years: ignoring the need to upgrade critical infrastructure, failing to tackle rising health care costs, and losing the battle to enact comprehensive immigration reform.

Rural families are struggling to pay the bills and save for the future because of rapidly increasing health care and energy costs and wages that aren’t keeping pace. Our government has lost touch with the most fundamental American values – the belief that everyone should be able to live the American Dream; the sense that we are all in this together as Americans.

It’s time that we listen to those in our rural communities.
