Show up. Speak out. Push back.
After a sold-out first year, Rabble Rouser returns to the Crystal Ballroom for an even bigger night of movement-building, skill-sharing, and radical joy. Join activists, organizers, artists, advocates, and everyday people ready to fight for our communities, democracy, and planet.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome back climate activist and drag artist Pattie Gonia as our special guest emcee and keynote speaker for the entire evening. Pattie will guide us through a night of bold conversations, hands-on workshops, joyful resistance, and community connection. Stick around for a show-stopping drag performance to close out the evening!
Everyone keeps telling us to stay informed and involved. Rabble Rouser goes one step further: we’ll show you how.
You’ll learn how to:
- Organize at the grassroots level
- Advocate for marginalized members of our community
- Protect our public lands
- Build self-sufficiency skills and reduce your reliance on large corporations
- Use art to amplify your activism
- Fight against AI data center developments
- Find joy in resistance, and more!
Whether you’re brand new to organizing or already deep in the work, Rabble Rouser is designed to help you plug into movements fighting for people and the planet while building the community we need to sustain ourselves for the long haul.
Expect practical skill-building, powerful storytelling, creative energy, and plenty of opportunities to connect with organizations and fellow rabble rousers from across the region.
Stick around for a show-stopping drag performance by Pattie Gonia, the queen of climate action!
Tasty bites and light dinner included.
Rabble Rousers, are you ready to get into good trouble? We’ll see you on August 23rd!
