RootsCamp 2025: Building Power Together
February 6-8 — Where Movements Unite, Ideas Thrive, and Progress Takes Root
The weight of the world feels heavier than ever.
Every day, we’re confronted with stories of challenges affecting communities near and far. From policies that feel out of touch with people’s realities to decisions that leave the most vulnerable struggling, it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start—or how to make a difference.
RootsCamp isn’t just a conference. It’s a space where organizers, advocates, and allies can come together to reflect on the past, strategize for the future, and work toward solutions.
