This closing panel will bring together core themes and strategies explored over the past two days through a powerful case study focused on the transformative work that has been led by organizers in Missouri. Over the past 15 years, they have redefined what is possible and reshaped power arenas in the state to deliver change. Organizers in the state have built a powerful, leaderful, multiracial coalition through deep canvassing, organizing, rigorous research, innovative practice, and intentional collaboration across race and place. The results speak for themselves. 

Our conversation with leaders on the ground will surface the critical elements of their success, how they are shifting culture and wielding power for new fights, and what questions remain for continued learning.
