Issue: Organizational Development

In this week’s edition of our Lab newsletter, I want to take a moment to reflect on the power of community – what it really means to show up, connect, and build together. I was honored to have attended so many transformative events in 2025, from RootsCamp to Netroots. Below are some takeaways from these spaces that can be implemented for successful community-building, both in advocacy and in your personal life, as well as a list of upcoming conferences to keep an eye on.
