10,000 Friends of Rural America

Stand Up for Rural America, a network of more than 2,000 nonprofit rural community developers is spearheading the launch of a coalition driven social media campaign, 10,000 Friends of Rural America, to bring a fresh voice to the national dialogue about rural issues. It will use social media tools to: engage rural people and institutions in creating and recruiting urban supporters; and mobilize Friends to focus attention on issues with broad rural impact.
