After the opening plenary, stick around for an opening reception sponsored by Black Male Voter Project! After a busy day of panels and training sessions, connect with old and new friends as you power up with appetizers and drinks.
During the reception, Mayor Brandon Johnson will act as a ‘Server for An Hour’ in solidarity with Chicago’s tipped workers and One Fair Wage. The Mayor is supportive of a bill being led by Alderman Carlos Ramirez- Rosa that would require restaurants to pay tipped workers a full minimum wage with tips on top, rather than the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers.
Got an idea for a panel or training you’d like to see at Netroots Nation this summer? Our annual call for submissions will open February 10! Make sure you’re on our email list to get updates.
