Attend this action-oriented L.O.C.A.L. Summit!

This dynamic community event brings together local leaders and concerned neighbors to strengthen collaborative efforts dedicated to upholding multicultural constitutional democracy, reinforcing the social safety net, and protecting all vulnerable neighbors.

The summit is designed to:

1. Strengthen Local Civic Leadership Capacity – Equip individuals and groups with strategies, knowledge, and connections to strengthen democracy, support vulnerable neighbors, and advance justice in our community.

2. Build Collaboration Across Projects and Teams – Foster collaboration among leaders, advocates, and organizers working on projects related to democracy, equity, and social justice.

3. Generate Practical Next Steps – Ensure that every participant walks away with new relationships, next steps, and useful resources to apply in their own work.

The event is focused exclusively on peaceful, democratic, and lawful action and is NOT a space for violence or criminal activity.

Come to be inspired by those who are already in action. Focus your energy on what matters most to you. The L.O.C.A.L. Summits are a safe, inclusive space where:

✅ People and groups already in action can share efforts, find support, and foster constructive collaboration.

✅ People looking for a way to contribute can find clarity, hope, and tangible ways to engage.

✅ Leaders can develop skills and connect—strengthening their collective impact within the existing community framework.

Summits are self-organized using Open Space Technology meeting format, allowing attendees to propose and lead discussions, trainings, planning sessions, and action groups.
