Since 2025, we have run 8 in-person summits. Our Summits are free, day-long events featuring workshops, expert panels, and networking opportunities. We also give awards to celebrate the work community members are doing to organize their neighbors. We create an opportunity to bring together students, advocates, and community members to discuss the most pressing issues affecting their communities, learn organizing skills, and form connections with each other. Over the past year, we’ve gathered and trained 370 attendees across 7 states.

“When we organize we win, seriously…people are coming together and saying no.” – Cyndie Roberson, , National Coalition Against Cryptomining Board Member (left), in her key note speech.

“Your why is important, it will sustain you, it will keep you focused, you won’t be swayed or easily influenced so we can protect our planet, our way of life and leave this earth in a better place then we found it.” – Corpus Christi Councilwoman Sylvia Campos (right) in her keynote speech.

“We keep pushing on, we believe that organized people beats organized money…despite tremendous odds, we’ve seen when we have been in positions to succeed we win.” – Reverend Lennox Yearwood Jr., President of Hip Hop Caucus (left) in his keynote speech.

““The summit is a powerful reminder that organizing begins with connections and networking. It’s a chance to build relationships, learn from one another, and leverage our skills and competencies. We believe community organizing empowers people to stand together and create sustainable, grassroots-driven solutions to the challenges we face.” – Tom Tower, Board Member, North Country Alliance for Balanced Change (right).

We’re excited to run more Summits like these next year and beyond. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can bring one to your town, please don’t hesitate by filling out the form below!
