National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union

The National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union was a late 19th-century organization in the United States that united farmers and laborers to advocate for better economic conditions. They sought reforms like fairer railroad rates, affordable credit, and policies to reduce financial struggles faced by rural communities. By combining the efforts of farmers and workers, the union aimed to enhance their collective bargaining power, influence government policy, and promote economic justice for those involved in agriculture and industry.
