Hi John,
After two years of meeting virtually, I couldn't be more excited to see some of you this summer at Netroots Nation 2022 in Pittsburgh. I hope you're making plans to join us August 18-20, because our agenda is shaping up to be amazing!
This year's event includes conversations about the upcoming midterms and strategies to win; conversations about protecting democracy both here and abroad; and sessions digging into pressing issues—from abortion access and police reform to climate change and gun reform.
Curious about what's on tap? We've got more than 60 panels and 50 trainings posted—with more to come.
Click here to look through our sessions (and be sure to check back often, as we're adding sessions and speakers daily).
We're also featuring lots of content highlighting the organizing and activism happening in Pittsburgh and throughout the state.
Here is a sampling of our panels for 2022 (you can view both panels and trainings here):
- Big Tech's Threat to Democracy: The Double-Edged Sword of Social Media
- Solving the Climate Crisis Starts With Combating Disinformation
- Building a Movement for Gun Violence Prevention
- Factory Towns: How to Win Back the Toughest Demographic Clusters
-
Disinformation and the Vote: Defending the Ballot Box in a Post-Truth World
- Defenders of Democracy: The Battle for Choice at the State and Local Level
- Our Voices: Fathers of Children Killed by Law Enforcement Speak Up
- Starbucks Workers United, Young Workers, and the Future of the Labor Movement
