Showcase: Campaign Labs

Showcase: Campaign Labs

What does it look like when six campaigns from 3 continents embark on a shared journey to build people power and advance justice in their communities? Join us on July 22nd 2026 to find out. 

This session brings together Organizers, Coaches, and Program Lead to reflect on LCN’s Campaign Labs, a six-month coaching program that supported campaign teams across different contexts as they put the People, Power, Change framework into practice on the ground. From learning organizing practices, to navigating the real challenges of organizing in complex and often difficult contexts, these campaigns did the work, and they have the stories to show for it.

In this showcase, we will hear from a programmatic perspective on the why behind the Campaign Labs: what it set out to do and what it learned. We will hear directly from campaign leaders about what made this journey different from encountering the framework, to the moments it clicked, to the challenges of bringing it to life in their own communities. Coaches will explore questions that continue to shape this work: What does it mean to coach for agency, not just outcomes.

At a time when the need for effective, people-led organizing has never been greater, this session aims to offer concrete lessons, honest reflection, and real inspiration for organizers, coaches, and leaders committed to building power for justice.

📅 When: Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026 @4-5:30pm CET/ 5-6:30 EAT/ 10-11:30 Eastern Time (find your time zone here)
