GAIN Power is excited to be organizing Powering Blue in 2022 – an online conference for the Progressive movement December 9-11th. Democratic campaigns & progressive nonprofits, PACs, consulting firms, independent artists, cultural content creators, and changemakers are invited to showcase your impact in our expo, preview opportunities to join your team or support your work, or hire your services – depending on what you do.
Powering Blue is similar to RootsCamp, which we co-organized last December which focused on debriefing our big election but more forward-focused. Like RootsCamp, the community is invited to organize sessions. We welcome lessons learned from past elections if they help teach us how to be stronger in 2022 and create conversations that focus on our themes.
Session Themes Include:
Campaign Lessons Learned & Best Practices to Win in 2022
Careers Paths & Opportunities in Progressive Politics
Communicating Winning Messages
Creating Better Workplaces: Diversity Equity and Inclusion
Self Care and Wellness for Organizers
Successful Organizing Strategies
Technology Tools and Tactics
Training Professionals and Activists
We are organizing quite a few panels too, but we want the community (ie - YOU) to submit proposals here by December 1st. We will review submissions and get back to all who submit a session by December 6th.
Given the buzz around our recent election results, it is clear we have a lot of work to do to change the mainstream media narrative and prepare to win in 2022. We need to create more powerful positive community spaces for professionals, activists and leaders to network, collaborate, and share experiences and ideas. We hope Powering Blue in 2022 will be a place to inspire, educate, and create opportunities to engage with a wide and diverse variety of organizations and individuals.
We hope you can be involved. If you have any questions, email me back at jes@gainpower.org and I will get them answered.
Thanks!
Jes Cruz
