Federal Defense
United Today, Stronger Tomorrow led a regional campaign to defend federal funding and government institutions during the first 100 Days of the Trump Administration and beyond. This campaign brought together over 100 groups, partners and community leaders under the banner “Experts in the Field: Rural and Remote Americans Working to Ensure Federal Investments Lead to Economic Prosperity.” This report reflects many of our efforts as well as lessons learned. Our hope is that it can be helpful to others working to meet this critically important moment.
