25th Anniversary Homecoming

25th Anniversary Homecoming

Friday, October 11 – Sunday, October 13

A three-day convening for all who have built Miami's movement ecosystem, in celebration and support of Miami Workers Center and Power U Center for Social Change.

This Weekend is About All of Us, Together

As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary this year, we invite you to join us in a theme of homecoming and recommitment. We are losing even more ground in the South – the country's testing ground for the most regressive policies resulting in worker and civil rights abuses that threaten our communities' access to safety and their inherent dignity.

We want to not only continue this work, but double down on our efforts and build our infrastructure to sustain the next 25 years. All proceeds from our fundraising will support the construction and expansion of the Center for People Power, a hub for working-class people in Miami-Dade County.

Solidarity & Relationship Building

Bridge the gap between seasoned and newer organizers by encouraging knowledge sharing, mentorship, and collaboration across generations

Movement Strategy & Tactics

Spend time evaluating old-school and new-school organizing strategies and tactics. Build upon what we know and have learned to chart our path forward.

Joy, Healing, and Well-being

Center joy, emotional wellness, and sustainability in service of long-term organizing.

Strengthen Our Roots

Document key milestones, campaigns, and figures that have shaped Miami's social justice landscape over the past 25 years.
