Registration is closed. Should you still like to participate in EARNConversations 2021, please contact Lea Woods at lwoods@epi.org with any questions or comments.

We are excited to continue EARNConversations again this year and provide a week-long series of virtual discussions that lift up state and local policy research from across the Network and provide you with the ideas and resources you need to better advocate for racial, gender, and economic justice.This is a pivotal moment during which we have an opportunity to make transformative investments in our communities and reforms to the standards and supports that for too long have left many working people struggling to get by. EARNConversations will bring together researchers, advocates, and grassroots organizers to strategize how states and localities can act on the lessons of the past year and use an unprecedented supply of resources to build worker power and improve the well-being of working families.Like last year, registration is free. We hope this will enable a diverse coalition of local, state, and national partners to join in the conversation. Please share the link with key allies and coalition partners. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/earnconversations-2021-tickets-164286139265?utm_source=EARN&amp;utm_campaign=2021213b69-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_09_30_03_48_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_1534b498f6-2021213b69-&amp;mc_cid=2021213b69&amp;mc_eid=UNIQID" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Register for EARNConversations 2021 to receive the full agenda, resources, and session login details</a>. Select the “Full Conference” ticket to receive event updates and meeting login information for all sessions or select tickets for the individual events you wish to join.When you register for EARNConversations this year, you will gain access to two pre-EARNCon sessions and a week of strategic discussions and workshops starting Monday, September 27 at 3:00 pm ET / 12:00 pm PT.
