Coming soon, just two weeks from tomorrow: we’re excited for the opportunity to see you in person at our 2025 annual member meeting (open to all!) on Saturday, February 1st.
We will review accomplishments from the past year, announce our legislative agenda for the new session, and host a variety of breakout sessions focused on building skills and digging deeper into policy and action. Join us to hone your skills, network with activists from across the state, and get energized for the fights to come.
