This year, for the second year in a row, we're bringing that spirit online to honor and recognize our 89th anniversary with the theme “Reflecting and Rising."

As Highlander prepares to move into our 90th year in 2022 with an eye on the next decade of movement work that will be necessary to meet the many challenges of our times, we will take this Homecoming weekend as an opportunity to look back over the last 10 years and reflect on the political landscape and lived realities that brought us to this moment. 

This is also an opportunity to dream up new worlds and strategize for the next ten years. We'll share stories and strategies with each other to ensure we are ready to rise to the occasion that decades of grassroots organizing and movement building have brought us.

We pivoted our work in 2020 to increase virtual space where we could continue to gather and be present with each other despite physical distance. We’ve been learning a lot along the way, and we are grateful to all who continue to join us in these spaces and at our virtual Homecoming this year.

We look forward to being in community with you.
