The annual Progressive Summit will be held in Reno for the first time at the University of Nevada, Reno, and will be sponsored by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN). ASUN is one of many generous statewide sponsors this year. The event will feature national, state and local speakers, and will include panels and workshops to teach community members the basics of how to be involved as a grassroots activist in 2016 and beyond.
