John,
It's just over a week until Netroots Nation, and I'm looking forward to seeing many of you in Chicago and online.
If you're on the fence, it's not too late to register! Click here to get your ticket—either virtual or in-person—now. We also have day passes if you can only make it one day.
We've got an inspiring agenda and tons of networking and social events planned. In addition to the 150+ panels and trainings happening throughout the weekend, we've got a phenomenal lineup each day for our daily plenary sessions. Check them out:
🔥 On Thursday, our Opening Keynote will highlight progressive leaders and organizing efforts in Chicago. You’ll hear from Mayor Brandon Johnson; Illinois State Sen. Robert Peters; AFT President Randi Weingarten; Cook County Public Defender Sharone Mitchell, Jr.; Chicago organizer Emma Tai; Working Families Party’s Maurice Mitchell; and more.
🔥 During our Friday Keynote, Tennessee State Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson will discuss their experience standing up for democracy, disrupting the status quo and demanding action. We’ll also hear from Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, Center for Popular Democracy’s DaMareo Cooper and Analilia Mejia and more on the importance of organizing our communities and building a bench of progressive leaders up and down the ballot and in red and blue states.
🔥 And in our Saturday Keynote, Rep. Ilhan Omar is moderating a conversation with four of the newest progressive members of Congress—Rep. Summer Lee, Rep. Delia Ramirez, Rep. Greg Casar and Rep. Maxwell Frost—about what work and life has been like for them in their first few months in office.
Then, you’ll hear from Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Jesús “Chuy” García as they discuss the current state of Congress, their plan for moving progressive policies forward, and the Congressional landscape looking toward 2024.
➡️ If you can't join us in person in Chicago, there's a low-cost virtual option that grants you access to over 40 hours of streamed content—including these three keynotes.

PS: To help make Netroots Nation more inclusive and accessible, face masks are required in Netroots Nation rooms when not actively eating, drinking or presenting. Masking is most effective in reducing airborne illness when everyone wears one. Remember, masking is a simple act of love—a sign that the person wearing the mask is considering the needs of others, especially the high-risk people who have been most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and who have undergone the most isolation and trauma. So remember to pack your masks!
