The Summit is an invitation-only event, and registration is open to invited guests. It brings together people from across the progressive ecosystem to strengthen relationships and prepare for the work ahead.
-
The Summit is an opportunity to connect with progressive leaders, organizers, policy experts, and congressional partners to work through shared challenges and identify opportunities for collective action. Through plenaries and smaller breakout sessions, attendees can exchange practical strategies, build relationships across issues and organizations, and bring ideas and connections back to their own work.
-
The Summit is jointly hosted by We Build Progress, our 501(c)(3), and Progressive Caucus Action Fund, our 501(c)(4). It brings together work across both organizations, with programming focused on policy, advocacy, and progressive movement strategy. If you’re asking because of restrictions on your organization’s participation or funding, please email summit@webuildprogress.org so we can help address your specific situation.
