Dear John,

Over the past three years, the economic impact of competing crises—like the rising cost of living in the middle of a pandemic—has been felt deeply in low-income communities, especially among people of color. We need policies, programs, and systems that get us closer to an economy that works for everyone -- so everyone can prosper and thrive. Whoever is in the White House and whatever the makeup of Congress or state and local legislatures, our long game is this: equipping you to organize, mobilize and advocate for policies that lead to solutions rooted in justice to expand economic prosperity for all. With that, we're pleased to announce the return of Camp Prosperity, a free, three-week, virtual learning series designed to strengthen your advocacy skills and connect you with advocates across the country. This year’s theme is “Reimagining Equity Through Community-Driven Advocacy,” where we will focus on equipping advocates to create change that will get us closer to racial economic equity.

On Tuesday, July 12, we’ll kick off our three-week virtual series, where we’ll be joined by advocacy experts to cover:

The New Change Agent: Federal, State, & Local Advocacy in an Election Year | Tuesday, July 12 
Permission to Engage: Equipping Ambassadors to Advocate for Change | Tuesday, July 19
Equity to Justice: Reimagining Strategies for Community-Driven Solutions | Tuesday, July 26

As our nation continues to navigate a difficult recovery into an election year, it’s critical that we develop a sound and unified advocacy voice to increase the push for meaningful policy change that seeks to achieve justice for all. We hope you'll join us to learn new skills from advocacy experts, gain advice on how to navigate your most pressing local advocacy challenges and connect with a community of advocates who are committed to expanding access to prosperity and building equitable economic power!
