Become a RootsCampDC Sponsor

Today, the most exciting innovations in organizing, political technology, and new media happen far outside the DC beltway. Old fashioned "high-level" post-election debriefs that exclude the precinct captain, the blogger, the guerrilla ad maker, the head of the state party, or local activist simply don't make sense anymore. That's why Emerging Progressives and the New Organizing Institute have teamed up to host RootsCamp, the progressive post-election debrief for the 21st century. sponsorship.pdf

WHAT A progressive post-election debrief with a format borrowed from the tech world (barcamp.org) that's actually FUN ― no preset schedule, everyone is a presenter, and you only go to sessions you find interesting.

WHERE Downtown Washington, DC | December 2-3, 2006

WHO The best and brightest in the progressive community engaged in 2006 campaigns ― from the "netroots" to field organizers to precinct captains to senior political strategists and national message consultants.
