Join Us for an Inspiring Conversation

Rural Reconnect PAC invites you to a special virtual town hall, where we’ll discuss the critical state of rural politics, the growing urban-rural divide, and how Portlanders can play a transformative role in reshaping the narrative.

With the rise of disinformation and the decline of local journalism, many rural communities face challenges that threaten our collective democratic values. Together, we can take steps to reconnect, empower, and inform.

What to Expect

  • Emcee Mingus Mapps: Portland’s mayoral candidate and advocate for community-driven solutions will guide the evening’s program.

  • Keynote Presentation by Miles Sisk: Rural Reconnect founder and Grants Pass native will deliver a presentation on the state of rural America and how urban allies can drive change.

  • Speaker Panel: Senator Lew Frederick, Former State Rep Brad Witt, and Collin Erickson.

  • Interactive Q&A: Ask questions, share ideas, and explore ways to get involved in this vital initiative.
