NW Justice Summit Part 2

Strategy Sessions

Please join us for part 2 of our annual NW Justice Summit as we reconvene to identify and launch actionable steps to further justice work. Each session will include a variety of topics from which to create working groups. We ask participants to commit to the working groups they attend under each justice topic in order keep the momentum going after the Summit. The following topics have been identified based on the panelists discussions at part 1 of the Summit.

We understand that justice work often overlaps and does not fit neatly into one category. During our Sunday afternoon session, participants will have the opportunity to return to re-engage discussion from their workgroups with further co-pollination from other workgroups. Topics may emerge organically throughout the weekend, or include discussion around:

  • Food Sovereignty
  • The Right to Abode

Legal Drop in Session: For intersectional discussion, training, and time to work on legislative objectives for all other topics with support from analysts, legislators and lobbyists.
