DONATE TODAY
Earlier this year, the Rural Assembly hosted a book discussion group around The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Wall Kimmerer asks, “Can we imagine a system which nurtures a different economic identity and reclaim ourselves as neighbors, with shared investment in mutual well-being?”
We must imagine this way of being. For that reason, I am extremely proud of the work my colleagues at the Daily Yonder are doing in nurturing, reclaiming, and investing in rural through their reporting.
The Daily Yonder is free and accessible. The stories they publish speak to real, on-the-ground rural realities, and acknowledge the complexities present in our communities.
In the (digital) pages of the Daily Yonder, you too can reclaim yourself as a neighbor. We can each invest in our mutual well-being. Access to quality rural reporting cannot be taken for granted.
I hope you will consider sharing what you can with the wider Yonder community. Perhaps you are able to make a financial donation, perhaps you can share an article or podcast episode you enjoyed lately with a friend.

My own knowledge of rural issues has been expanded through reading the Yonder. On Monday mornings, when the Path Finders newsletter hits my inbox, I know I will learn about a fiercely caring rural person who is striving to contribute to the mutual well-being of their place and the people around them.
Please consider supporting the Daily Yonder, especially now when all of your donations will be matched by generous matching grants. Here at Rural Assembly, we will be sure to keep spreading the good word.
Sincerely,
Taneum Fotheringill
