SUMMARY:Help flip the House.
DESCRIPTION:Hold Republicans accountable in rural and small town America! \n\n\n\n\n\nThe path to a House Majority runs through rural and small town America. \n\n\n\nThe Idea: The Rural House Accountability Project \n\n\n\nHelp Flip the House in the 2026 midterms by highlighting the impact of recent federal policies and budget cuts on rural and small town voters in House districts currently represented by Republicans\, and promoting popular policy alternatives. \n\n\n\nThis can be most effectively done by using hyper-local media to amplify the voices of real people in these communities whose lives and families have been hurt by Republican policies and actions. The specific districts are IA 01\, IA 03\, PA 07\, PA 08\, PA10\, and WI 03. \n\n\n\nHow it works \n\n\n\nThe project has four parts:  \n\n\n\n\nGenerate hyper-localized messaging about the consequences of Federal cuts and policies using voices of trusted local messengers. For example\, in WI 03 a video of a nurse about the danger of losing a local rural ER; in IA 03 a video about the cuts killing broadband funding. \n\n\n\nRecruit and train at least 12 rural creators and storytellers in partnership with RDI organizations on the ground in each district focusing on: parents\, educators\, small business people\, veterans\, farmers\, small-town mayors\, nurses\, and other working people.\n\n\n\nDistribute content across a selection of Real Voices Media’s 500 Facebook and Instagram pages such as Standing Up for the Working Class\, and Our Part of Iowa\, RDI partner organization social feeds\, and peer-to-peer distribution channels\, like church listservs and  neighborhood groups. \n\n\n\nIntegrate relational organizing to close the loops among content creation\, distribution\, and activation. \n\n\n\n\nWho is doing the work? \n\n\n\nThe Rural Democracy Initiative is convening the Rural House Accountability Project.  \n\n\n\nReal Voices Media builds local social media pages\, provides technical and digital media expertise\, and will take the lead in content creation\, training and distribution. \n\n\n\nRDI’s local partners such as Main Street Alliance\, Iowa Farmers Union and PA Stands Up will  identify local voices and integrate these messages into their on-the-ground accountability\, voter education\, and mobilization work. \n\n\n\nWhere does my money go? \n\n\n\nYour donation goes to RDI’s c4 Rural Victory Fund to support its partners including Real Voices Media.  \n\n\n\n\nDonation suggested but not required to get zoom link
