12/16/24 RootsCamp Updates
Chock Full of updates, handy links, and more new information.
Hi Friends and Fellow RootsCampers,
It’s Amy again - I am so sorry my last post didn’t keep the links when I pasted it in from my draft, so here it is again, updated with links.
I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates as we gear up for RootsCamp 2024! Sorry if you signed up for individual posts - I’ve sent quite a few today because I wanted them to be stand-alone links for the event. I promise we won’t do this every day, but we have much to share to start engaging everyone we hope will be part of RootsCamp. This event is all about building a powerful community of changemakers, and we’re making great strides in putting together an amazing team to make it happen.
I’m excited to announce that we’ve retained Simple Majority & Partners to take the lead as project manager for the event! We’re focused on building a diverse group of partners, sponsors, volunteers, and contractors to bring this vision to life.
RootsCamp thrives because of the incredible people who contribute their time, energy, and expertise. Here’s how you can join us:
