Wondering what’s on the agenda for Netroots Nation 2023 in Chicago? We’ve got more than 80 panels and 60 trainings confirmed (check them out here), including panels showcasing lessons learned from the midterms and strategies to win in 2024; conversations about protecting democracy; and sessions digging into important issues, from abortion access and police accountability to climate change and gun reform. And our keynotes are shaping up to be phenomenal, too!
Throughout the weekend, you’ll have a chance to hear from progressive leaders in Congress including Rep. Greg Casar, Rep. Sean Casten, Rep. Maxwell Frost, Rep. Chuy Garcia, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. Summer Lee, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Delia Ramirez, and Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
There are some rising stars joining us too, including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Tennessee State Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, and Illinois State Sen. Robert Peters. And that’s not all: AFT President Randi Weingarten; scholar and civil rights writer Kimberlé Crenshaw; MN Attorney General Keith Ellison; and Secretaries of State Cisco Aguilar (NV), Adrian Fontes (AZ), Stephanie Thomas (CT) and Maggie Toulouse Oliver (NM) are also speaking.
