The Missing Pieces of the Democrats' Rural Offer Could Fill a Barnyard
Briefly

The Congressional Progressive Caucus pushes the Democratic Party to prioritize people and the planet over corporate control, advocating to support farmers, break up Big Ag, and invest in rural infrastructure.
The agenda emphasizes fighting corporate power, antitrust enforcement, limiting corporate influence over regulations, and addressing dark money in elections to bridge the urban/rural divide.
The Progressive Proposition Agenda advocates for pro-worker policies, including labor law reforms, national living wage, capped childcare costs, and worker protection during strikes to benefit workers in rural areas.
Critiques of the agenda point out the need for a more comprehensive approach to building a just and resilient economy focusing on empowering individuals and communities to meet their own needs.
