Location: Museum of Science, Boston, MA
Time: 9/23/23, 3:00pm – 7:00pm

Grassroots International is thrilled to invite you to celebrate our 40th anniversary with us! Our in-person celebration will take place on Saturday September 23, 2023 from 3 to 7 PM at the Museum of Science in Boston, MA, on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Massachusett. Please register, and get excited to join us and our movement partners for learning, community building, and celebrating Solidarity in Action: 40 Years of Keeping it Radical!

At this special occasion, we will come together in person (at an outdoor pavilion for greater COVID safety) to hear stories of incredible grassroots resistance and visionary movement building for social, economic, and environmental justice.

Together with our U.S. and international supporters, partners, and allies, we will break bread and build community while honoring those who sacrifice so much to bring about a world in which sustainable and equitable relationships exist between people and with the Earth and all its living systems.

Mark your calendars and register now! We hope you will join us! More details will appear below as available. For those unable to join us in person, please stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to celebrate with us virtually as well.
