Announcing the 2021 Grassroots Reboot Conference

Posted on May 19, 2021

Democratic grassroots organizing shifted immensely during the 2020 election. We had to change our tactics, overcome immense obstacles alone at home, and band together despite rising tensions, misinformation, and attacks on our country. And with the next elections just on the horizon, the stakes have never been higher. 

Massachusetts organizing plays a critical role in supporting elections across this nation, as we look to 2022, 2024, and beyond, we need to build up our own infrastructure so we can help Democrats succeed in the elections that matter most. 

Before the summer vacation arrives, Swing Left Greater Boston is bringing together organizers and grassroots group leaders to share information and discuss what’s at stake when it comes to voter protection, disinformation, and the road to 2022. 

Introducing… The 2021 Grassroots Reboot 

Join us on June 5 from 10:00 am ET – 12:00 pm ET

Swing Left Greater Boston and our co-sponsors, Indivisible Mass Coalition and Northampton Democratic City Committee and the Mass Dems Organizing Hub are proud to announce our first annual grassroots conference—The 2021 Grassroots Reboot

Attendees will join grassroots leaders from across Massachusetts to build our community, strengthen our groups and find new ways of taking effective action. It will be the must-attend event for activist organizers and leaders across the state and beyond.
