This year, we'll focus on reaching across racial, ethnic, gender, generational, and sexual identities with intention. This convening is all about bringing the progressive community together on social, political, economical, and environmental issues, while openly addressing the fissures that weaken the movement.

This August at Los Angeles Trade Tech, you’ll find speakers, panelists, and fellow activists building upon sometimes disjointed street protests, online petitions, and siloed thinking to create the potent united front needed to reclaim our threatened rights and freedoms. Join us in moving beyond resistance.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Melina Abullah,

Eric Mann & Hector Villagra
