From camp
Stories.
What happened at camp. What started. What carried through the year.
“I found a renewed sense of purpose that carried me through the year. Thanks to Amy Pritchard and the team at GAIN POWER, RootsCamp returned — and during a Big Ideas session, a former federal worker called for people to come together to support federal workers facing escalating attacks. A Signal chat was started and that weekend, over lunch, Federal Workers Alliance For Democracy was born.”

“I had an AMAZING time at RootsCamp! The vibes were great, the content of the sessions was wonderful and I loved how participatory it was. Overall, it was a 10/10 in my book!”

“I ran into and reconnected with colleagues who I haven't seen in over a decade. Great to reconnect and see them thriving and still doing great work.”

“The opening plenary was fantastic. I loved that the speakers spoke to their personal experiences & journeys and grounded us in the reality of now rather than giving us platitudes.”
