Hi John,
Our final day of Netroots Nation 2025 was rich with conversations on power building across deep divides, mobilizing young voters, powering climate action, and more. Our featured panels (watch them here) highlighted lessons from New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina and discussed how Secretaries of State are expanding voting access and combating disinformation to engage young voters.
From stories of resilience to a call to move with boldness and truth, our closing keynote inspired us to go back to our communities and continue the work ahead. Here's some quotes from the final day:
- "Climate change is not just another issue. It's the new context in which you are all doing your work." –Colette Pichon Battle
- "What we can agree on is that climate change isn an existential crisis we must fight together right now." –Rev. Gregory Manning
- "All too often, media is wielded as a weapon of war—which is why we have to take the media back." –Amy Goodman
- "Our party cannot afford to be comfortable. We all have to meet this moment more." –David Hogg
- "If we're not hearing what our future is saying, who are we?" –Randi Weingarten
If you missed any of our keynotes or featured panels, you can watch those recordings here. We've also posted photos, video clips, and highlights to our Facebook page, Instagram account and website throughout the weekend.
And if you missed our announcement, we'll be in Philadelphia June 4-6, 2026 for our 21st conference. Registration will open soon.
Thanks for following along for our 20th annual event!
The Netroots Nation team
