RVCC believes strong partnerships with our federal agencies provide the foundation for conservation outcomes on the ground that benefit our rural communities. This means we care a lot about how federal funds are distributed through the federal appropriations process.
We've completed our Farm Bill priorities and annual appropriations priorities. We need your organization's sign on today to strengthen our message to decision makers in DC. Both papers begin with a short summary highlighting our priorities. Page two is a funding matrix that highlights line by line, what our funding asks are. The final touch will be our list of RVCC supporters throughout the west!
Read the papers here:
http://www.ruralvoicescoalition.org/rvcc-2018-issue-papers The Roll Out: Once finalized, RVCC will deliver our recommendations to decision makers in DC for our Western Week in Washington May 1st – 3rd. We will continue to do outreach beyond our annual visit to DC as the Farm Bill and Appropriations processes continue. As supporters, we encourage you to use the final paper when you engage with your community and local decision makers.
