✨ The Work Doesn’t End—It Evolves. ✨

Feb 01, 2025

Saturdays bring a different kind of energy. The work of the week is behind us, but momentum doesn’t stop—it accelerates. ⚡ It’s the day where ideas turn into plans 📝, where movement turns into action 🚀, and where we decide that the fight for change doesn’t rest.

At RootsCamp, Saturday isn’t just the last day—it’s the launchpad. 🚀 It’s when connections solidify 🤝, strategies sharpen 🎯, and we take everything we’ve built and push it forward. This is where organizers, activists, and changemakers come together to make sure progress doesn’t just happen—it gains power. 💪⚡

This is where we step into the future, together.

Let’s get to work. 🔥

🌟 What to Expect at RootsCamp 2025 🌟

🔹 It’s an unconference—YOU shape the agenda, lead sessions, and bring the knowledge, experiences, and strategies that drive real change.
🔹 It’s collaborative—Expect real conversations, deep connections, and game-changing ideas.
🔹 It’s about action—We don’t just talk about change—we make it happen.
