Your voice. Your community. Your legislation.
South Dakota grows stronger when working people have a real seat at the table. Join us for two days of conversation, collaboration, and community-building as we identify legislation that supports working families across our state.
This is not your typical forum. It's neighbors, elected officials, and community members working together to solve real problems.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Everyone is welcome! Union members, small business owners, parents, educators, healthcare workers, retirees, students, elected officials, candidates—if you care about fairness and strong communities, this forum is for you.
