On Friday, September 20, Farm Aid and nearly 300 advocates and farmers representing forty-two states, plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, gathered for a day of building community power, fighting polarization and strengthening the rural-urban coalition of farmers and advocates that make up the Farm Aid community. The event, a “Rural Call to Action for All,” featured speakers from across the food system who spoke about issues facing farming and rural communities, while legislators and movement leaders called for action alongside Farm Aid.

Farm Aid artists and board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Margo Price host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid’s work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm food. For more than 35 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised nearly $80 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.
