Together in strategy sessions, skill-building workshops, and conversations, we\u2019ll set ROP\u2019s priorities for the coming year and strengthen our movement for the long haul!

A moment to break isolation, to sing and dance, and to remember how strong and connected we are together. It\u2019s a time to show up for each other and to deepen our relationships across rural Oregon as we connect the dots between the issues that matter most to our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to complete the activity<strong>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gather your leadership team, fellow organizers, and friends.<\/strong> Pull out your calendars and mark Saturday, April 6th for a trip to Woodburn!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decide who will be a part of your group\u2019s Caucus team this year!<\/strong> Groups say they get the most out of the Caucus when they send a team of 3-5 people to bring home more of the lessons from the many strategy sessions and workshops that will be offered!&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Please note:<\/em><strong> COVID safety is a priority for ROP,<\/strong> so we\u2019ve compiled this handy list of Frequently Asked Questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make your carpool plans and let us know how else we can support you!<\/strong> Does anyone in your group need translation or interpretation?
