Event Details

RootsCamp Florida

 

Why

After this mid-term election, at the end of the year, organizers part ways for new places and opportunities.  However, what happens to the experiences, the lessons learned from November? Nothing. Until now

 

What

RootsCamp will convene mid-term campaign workers under one roof to discuss the best practices in new media, data, and organizing practices on their campaigns.

 

How

RootsCamp is an incubator for fresh ideas, lively discussion and, most importantly, action-driven learning among diverse groups of passionate progressive activists. RootsCamp emerged in 2006 as a revolutionary “unconference.” Instead of relying on the tired old format of workshop proposals and a pre-set agenda, RootsCamp is a dynamic participant-led event that brings organizers together to learn from each others successes and failures.

Democracia USA has become the premier Hispanic organization leading successful community organizing activities around social justice issues, including civic engagement, green jobs, healthcare, immigration, and public education.

To date, we have trained hundreds of Latinos to become leaders in their communities, while organizing thousands of citizens, U.S. residents, business owners, community leaders, and allied organizations. We are one of the few organizations in the US seeking to fill the gap of Latino engagement and participation in the American democratic process by educating and empowering Hispanics in a holistic manner. Our mission is reflected in the following overall goals:

  • To create long-term, structural change by building a culture of real and meaningful civic participation within Hispanic communities;

 

  • To work with Latino communities towards garnering respect and political understanding for Hispanic Americans nationwide;

 

  • To preserve the diversity of immigrant Latino cultures while contributing to the fabric of this nation; and,

 

  • To provide Hispanics with a better way of life and hope for their future as active participants in America’s democracy.
