Annual Community Meet 2026

We gather amid a global moment marked by oppression and authoritarianism—where injustice feels relentless and absurdity is normalized. Yet our community reminds us that even in the darkest moments, people have organized, resisted, and built collective power.

The Annual Community Meet (ACM2026) is an invitation to remember what has always moved history forward: people coming together, refusing silence, and choosing to hope rooted in people power. This year’s theme centers on courage—the courage to organize, to stand with one another, and to act in the face of injustice and uncertainty. It is about regaining faith in people power and turning that belief into action.

You will hear from an inspiring lineup of speakers, including Marshall Ganz, members of the LCN team, and voices from our global community and the frontlines of struggle. Together, let’s reflect on what courage looks like in this moment, and how we can move—together—from hope to action.

As always, the Annual Community Meet will be held twice to accommodate different time zones, so you can join from wherever you are. Whether you’ve been part of the LCN community for years or are just beginning this journey, we would love to see you there. This is a space to reconnect, recommit, and choose hope together.
