ROP often convenes statewide virtual gatherings for rural organizers across Oregon and the country to connect and build shared analysis and strategy. This page will continue to be updated with registration information for upcoming virtual gatherings and recaps and recordings of past gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For recordings of past strategy sessions, check out our YouTube here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us on November 5th for an election debrief! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Register below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So many folks across the state showed up for this election to defend democracy: from voter education about how our election system works to running local ballot measures and hosting candidate forums. There\u2019s going to be a lot for us to digest and (hopefully) celebrate with each other! What went well, where did we hit snags, and how do we take what we learned and make each other stronger as we look to 2028? <\/p>\n\n\n\n You told us that you want to know what is happening across the entire network for shared strategy, analysis, statewide work, and to grow your organizing skills. We are committing to experimenting in this space with you from now through the election and assessing in December how well it\u2019s meeting our needs and the goals set out at the Caucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How will it work? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Members from groups across the network said they would love to have at least one person from each group join each meeting, and ideally, that it\u2019s the same people each month, so that we can build meaningful relationships and build together. This space will be what we make it.<\/strong> Its success will depend on the amount we are all able to invest in and prioritize this as a core part of our organizing. This space will be virtual,<\/strong> but feel free to grab a few group members and join the meeting together, maybe over food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call schedule <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Each call will be from 6-7:30 pm PST \/ 7-8:30 pm MST. Save the dates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you join us? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If not, who is the right person or duo from your Human Dignity Group to commit to this experiment for the 5 months around the election? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note: <\/strong>Kitchen Table Conversations are for member organizations (aka Human Dignity Groups) in the Rural Organizing Project network, and individuals directly invited by ROP staff. If you were not invited by ROP staff and are not part of a member group (see list here<\/a>), please email office@rop.org<\/a> to share your interest in participating in these Zooms before registering<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n
