The National Organizing Workshop (NOW) is a program that inspires and prepares members to build relational power and to ensure there is an empowered base in every community to demand changes, hold leaders accountable, and transform how power operates in their community. Together with members from across the country, members will solidify their own personal vision for this work, refine skills that they need to organize for equity, and participate in a local issue assembly with other LEE members on the ground. 

Ready to deepen your impact and take your campaign to the next level? Join us in Atlanta for The Omari Todd National Organizing Workshop, a powerful three-day gathering of active LEE members leading organizing work across the country.

This immersive experience is designed for organizers who are already in motion—whether you’re building a base, running an issue campaign, or mobilizing your community for systemic change. Together, we’ll sharpen our strategies, strengthen our networks, and move toward collective action at scale.
