Dear John,
Happy Saturday, and welcome to the final day of Netroots Nation Day 2020!
Yesterday, we heard from frontline activists on the role they are playing to defund the police and defend Black lives. We discussed how to rebuild the economy in a post-Trump, post-COVID America. And our keynote highlighted how we can build progressive power and enact policy change after the ballots are counted.

CLOSING KEYNOTE
 This political moment is bigger than winning elections or even enacting progressive policies. The bigger picture—our end goal—is to create a movement and a society that is equitable and just for all. To achieve our goals, we must dismantle white supremacy and the systems that perpetuate injustice. What does it take to break down systems of oppression that have existed for centuries? What roles can each of us play to support the work of those on the frontlines of injustice?
Join us at 5pm Eastern and hear from Reps. Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, Alicia Garza, Color of Change’s Rashad Robinson, NDN Collective’s Nick Tilsen, immigration activists Alejandro Fuentes-Mena and Zenen Jaimes Perez, and Community Change’s Dorian Warren.
This keynote happens today at 5pm Eastern on Facebook or on YouTube (English and Spanish captioning provided) via act.tv.
FROM OUR SPONSORS
 Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial justice organization. We help people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us. As a national online force driven by more than 7 million members, we move decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.
 More than three-fourths of voters say abortion should remain safe and legal. There is no state in which banning abortion is popular. But anti-abortion politicians continue to try to undermine our rights and our access to reproductive health care—even during a pandemic—putting the ability of many people to obtain birth control, safe and legal abortion, and accurate sexual education in question. We decide who our leaders are. We decide our future. Planned Parenthood Votes.
 The Service Employees International Union unites 2 million diverse members in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. SEIU members working in the healthcare industry, in the public sector and in property services believe in the power of joining together on the job to win higher wages and benefits and to create better communities while fighting for a more just society and an economy that works for all of us, not just corporations and the wealthy.
