Closing the year with hope
We knew 2025 would be difficult. And we can expect to face continued adversity in 2026.

Building power that delivers
Voces Unidas Action Fund exists to build real political power so our rural communities can win on the issues that shape everyday life. That power doesn’t come from statements or promises.

Voces Unidas: RFSD earns a D- on new community report card
Among the many lessons public education offers are those that come not from textbooks, but from sharing the classroom with peers from every walk of life. One lesson, often learned slowly, is that we all live our own reality. Despite appearances, not everyone’s circumstances are the same. Sharing the same hallways, classrooms and cafeterias with the same students day after day, year after year, it’s easy to assume everyone’s experience is similar. We’re all “Rams,” or “Demons”
