Join us as we convene to reflect on the result of the recent election, assess its implications for movement-building, and strategize about our path forward as we continue to navigate a rapidly changing political landscape. In addition to creating a facilitated container for community members to share their reflections, we'll also bring together a panel of top leaders from across the movement space who will lend their insights as part of this discussion.

No matter the outcome, the presidential election presents an opportunity to mobilize and organize our communities around the most pressing social issues we face today.

The second session we are going to focus on political economy. See reading materials below. Please finish reading them in advance and come to discuss with us 🙂
