Thanks for joining us on this journey.

We've almost made it!

In just two short weeks, we will have survived our first year at Rural Progress (Rp) - We
couldn't have done it without you.

Nearly a year ago, Rp was barely more than an idea - Two friends with two folding-tables, in
a one room office.
Today, less than a year later, Rp has become a burgeoning movement of Americans,
representing all 50 states, and 11 different countries spread across four continents.

What has kept us going when many others would have thrown in the towel? Why are we
succeeding where many others have failed?

You.
Your support, and the continued support of community leaders like you all over the world are
the key to our success.
Your belief in the cause made it thrive, and the community it has created is the foundation
upon which all of our success is built.
Your generosity , faith, and investment have given a new hope to Democrats in small-town
communities across rural America.

You are preparing the way

for a stronger Democratic Party
and a brighter tomorrow.

You are Rural Progress

Your support reached every corner of the country helping campaigns in rural and
urban areas alike.

• Helped statewide races in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, et al.

• Lifted Congressional candidates from Kansas to the coasts

• Bridged the digital divide building credible digital marketing programs for rural
candidates

• Revived Democratic Committees throughout small-town America

Your support touched countless lives, giving a hand up to struggling families in their
time of need.

• Protected the children and families forcibly separated by Trump's draconian

immigration policies by providing legal assistance

• Reconnected separated families struggling with financial hardship by providing

financial assistance to cover legal, travel, and other fees
 • Funded regional grassroots training camps and "citizen universities" teaching new
and experienced advocates tactics and strategy of direct advocacy and
candidate/electoral campaigns

• Helped build badly needed community improvements in struggling rural areas

including a park, a community center, and a women's advocacy center and shelter for
abused women and children

Almost one year ago, Rural Progress was barely more than two friends and an idea - today
we have supporters in every state, from all walks of life, from all over the world.

If that is the difference your support made in one year, can you imagine what it would
make in two?

Can we count on you, Bernardo, to help keep the movement strong by chipping in $2,
$20 $200, $2,000, or your preferred amount, by the end of our first year on May 1st?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express,

your donation will go through immediately:

CLICK TO CHIP IN $2

CLICK TO CHIP IN $20

CLICK TO CHIP IN $200

 CLICK TO CHIP IN $2000

Or, donate another amount

We have worked hard to start this community and to make it a worthwhile investment for
anyone willing to be a part.

With your continued support through our second year, we will double down on progress.
Together, we will save the world or give all we've got trying.

We might be crazy for trying, but in times like these we would be crazier not to.

Honored and full of hope for tomorrow,

Nate Irvin - founder
