Rootscamp, hosted by a coalition of progressive organizations, is an unconference where the content is organized by the attendees. The event will bring together progressive leaders and organizers to debrief the election and strategize about what we need to do next to build power in 2021 and beyond.
The event will offer workshops, trainings, panels, networking opportunities, visionary speakers, an organization expo, and provocative debates about strategy and best practices. There’s still time to submit a session, and we hope you do!
