The work continues after AMC2020

View this email in your browser Credit: Ara Howrani Dear AMP Community,  Anyone else still buzzing with joy and hope from AMC2020? Yes, we went virtual this year, but somehow through Slack, Youtube dance parties, network gatherings, and breakout sessions, our AMC family was able to co-create a transformative conference. We wrote, vibed, danced, and dreamed. We captured the magic that AMC generates and brought it home with us. We thank each and every one of our attendees, presenters, and partners. We thank the oldtimers, and newcomers.  Whether you tuned in for one livestream or were living on Slack all weekend, please take the post-AMC survey to help us learn from this year and shape the future of the AMC. If you missed any of our signature events (or want to re-live them), you can catch the opening and closing ceremonies, plenaries, community dinners, and AMC @ night gatherings on our YouTube channel. We’ve got a wild future ahead of us, unfolding faster and faster every day. AMC2020 showed us that we are ready and resourced to shape change in the direction of collective liberation.
