Full Description:

Currently, Washington, DC serves as a functional location where many progressives come to the city to achieve political ends through protesting and lobbying.

Participants in this workshop will engage in a facilitated dialogue to deepen national and local organizing efforts that take place in DC with aims to come up with strategies to local-global alliances to strengthen progressive movements.
