As two prior panels today have discussed, engaging on agriculture and broader rural issues can be a powerful way to build power but can feel challenging to progressive legislators. In this panel, participants will hear from legislator colleagues and issue experts about specific tools and tactics that have helped them advance their goals in this space, from messaging tips for rural communities to creative workarounds when powerful interests block legislation. (This content builds from “Beyond Divides” in the previous session but also stands on its own.)
