BACK FORTY ACTION IS COMING TO OHIO! Listen. Learn. Get to Work.
Howdy, Farmhands!
Back Forty Action is headed to Ohio — and for Will Westmoreland, better known online as WestmorelandPops, this one feels a little like coming home.
Will got his start in politics in Ohio in 1992. Now, more than three decades later, he’s returning with Back Forty Action and a mission that has taken us across rural America: bringing people together to fight for better healthcare, stronger schools, and economic policies that give rural communities a fighting chance.
We are especially honored to welcome Mary Ellen Withrow, former Ohio Treasurer and the 40th Treasurer of the United States, as an Honorary Sponsor of this special event.
And Will won’t be coming alone.
Robert Arnold, known online as Defiance13, will be joining us! Robert will offer a special reading before Will fires up the crowd with his own unmistakable brand of rural populism.
This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a gathering of people who believe rural America deserves to be heard.
Back Forty Action has traveled to more than 130 towns across more than 25 states, listening to rural Americans and talking about what it will take to reverse course and get our communities back on track.
Then we take those voices with us to the halls of power and demand accountability from the people who represent us.
That is why our motto is simple:
LISTEN. LEARN. GET TO WORK.
Your contribution helps make that work possible. It helps us travel to communities that too often get overlooked, advocate for policies that strengthen rural America, organize people on the ground, and make sure rural voices are heard where decisions are being made.
$25 — FARMHAND
Pull up your sleeves and join the crew. Every movement needs Farmhands willing to help do the work.
$50 — FENCE MENDER
Strong communities are built by people willing to repair what’s broken instead of walking away from it.
$100 — BARN RAISER
Nobody raises a barn alone. Barn Raisers understand that rebuilding rural America takes neighbors working together.
$250 — BACK FORTY BUILDER
Help us build the organization, relationships, and grassroots infrastructure needed to give rural communities a stronger voice.
$500 — RURAL CHAMPION
Our Rural Champions make it possible for Back Forty Action to carry rural voices from small towns and back roads all the way to the halls of power.
Whether you give $25 or $500, you are part of this movement.
You are helping us show up.
You are helping us listen.
You are helping us fight for rural hospitals, rural schools, family farms, small businesses, good jobs, infrastructure, and communities where the next generation can build a future.
Most importantly, you are helping remind the people in power that rural America is still here — and we intend to have a say in our future.
Come spend some time with Will, Robert, and your fellow Farmhands in Ohio.
Listen. Learn. Get to Work.
Because rural America is worth fighting for.
