About Our Logo

The Rural Progressive Voices logo is a visual play on donkey hooves, nodding to the iconic symbol of the mainstream progressive party, The Democratic Party.

Hooves are grounding, where the donkey feels the grass and earth.

Hooves are the foundation of the being, holding up all else.

Hoof prints from four legs represent separate entities working together to advance a common cause.

Rural progressives are the hooves of the movement.

Hear our hooves beat.
