on the success of 2012 RootsCamp DC and 2010 RootsCamp MA, this progressive
“unconference” will take place the weekend of April 6-7 at SEIU 1199 in
Dorchester. The all volunteer RootsCamp MA Organizing Committee invites you
to attend and connect with a diverse and inclusive group of activists from
across the state.<br>
<br><b>What is <a href="http://www.bit.ly/rootscampma"

the progressive community to come together, employing a simple and
participatory</span><span
style="line-height:19px;color:rgb(39,39,39);font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">“unconference”
model that allows organizers focused on different issues to meet and
debrief in a way that promotes shared learning and engagement. Rather than
traditional panels or PowerPoints, participants set the agenda and have
real live conversations about valuable organizing lessons taken from the
field, both online and offline. Attendees have the opportunity to establish
lasting new partnerships with organizers from all over the state. This
model, first launched in 2006 by the New Organizing Institute, has proven
very successful across the country. Learn more at</span><span

is it organized?</b> It's an "unconference" - meaning YOU get
to present a session without having to submit a proposal ahead of time. The
whole point of RootsCamp MA is for local organizers to own and drive the
conversation. It's the only conference this year where you are
guaranteed to have a chance to talk about what YOU want to talk about.
It's part reflection: a candid environment to share what's working
and what isn't. It's also a chance to get to know each other better
and plan the year ahead.</span><br
