Power from the roots up – 2014 National Conference

SEATTLE IS ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY

One of the first to adopt paid sick days
The first to pass a $15 minimum wage
Legalized marijuana to reduce criminalization
and now many of these changes are taking root throughout the country.

AT POWER FROM THE ROOTS UP

We’ll talk about seizing power and making change at the local level. We know that our future and our prosperity will change only by building a powerful base.

Join us for workshops on racial justice, fundraising, power mapping, communications strategy, and money in politics.

PLUS we are planning a special Town Hall meeting with some of the key players in the $15 minimum wage fight in Seattle. Why and how is Seattle leading the way? What can you do in your city? You won’t want to miss it!

WORKSHOPS INCLUDE

Immigration Reform: Voices of small towns and rural communities
The Truth About Family Debt: Student loans, medical bills, housing, credit cards: where is our nation headed?
Disappearing Democracy: People everywhere are losing their right to vote.

OTHER EXCITEMENT

Plenty of fun, music, food, exchange of ideas, inspiration, new connections, lively discussions, great people, and an action – all in Seattle.
