Webinar and Training with the Rural Urban Bridge Initiative

Wednesday, February 1st at noon | Wednesday, February 8th at noon

We hosted a two-part webinar & discussion focused on building the bridge (a metaphorical bridge!) of the urban-rural divide with Anthony Flaccavento, co-founder of the Rural-Urban Bridge Initiative.  The Rural-Urban Bridge Initiative (RUBI) works to “defuse hostility and contempt, find mutual understanding and common ground, and build multi-racial working and middle-class rural solidarity between rural, suburban, and urban dwellers.”

Part one of the Rural Urban Divide training (February 1st) focused on understanding the underlying economic, political and cultural causes of the rural-urban divide, while Part 2 (February 8th) helped participants develop strategies to overcome it.
