Join Us at RootsCamp 2025

Because Armchair Commentary Won’t Change the World

The progressive movement is at a pivotal moment, and your involvement is absolutely crucial. After all, where would we be without the folks who actually do the work? RootsCamp 2025 is not your average conference—it’s the gathering for the strategists, volunteers, organizers, and changemakers who don’t just talk about progress but make it happen.

Let’s face it: the 2024 election left us with a lot of hot takes. And while the armchair commentators have been busy dissecting what went right (and wrong) from the comfort of their couches, RootsCamp is for those who were actually in the trenches. You know—the ones who wrote the budgets knocked on doors, crafted content, volunteered their time, and made the victories possible.

Why Should You Join Us? Because if you’re reading this, chances are you’re one of the people who actually gets stuff done. At RootsCamp 2025, you’ll:

• Connect with a network of real changemakers who share your commitment to building a better future. (Armchair analysts are not allowed.)

• Learn from workshops and training sessions led by movement leaders who don’t just think they know what works—they’ve proven it.

• Reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next—without the fluff.

• Strategize for the battles ahead because, let’s be real: we’ve got plenty of work to do in 2025.

• Celebrate your hard work because, yes, you deserve it

Who Should Attend? RootsCamp is for anyone tired of the status quo and ready to keep making an impact. That means:

• Campaign Professionals: You built the tools, knocked on the doors, and made everything happen.

• Movement Leaders: You fought for justice and equity while everyone else argued on Twitter.

• Funders and Donors: You invested in change and want to see your impact in action.

• Volunteers and Grassroots Leaders: You powered the progress with your calls, canvassing, and dedication.

• Talent in Transition: Rolling off campaigns? Don’t worry—there’s plenty of room at the table.
