More than 3,700 people gathered in Philadelphia July 11-13 for the Netroots Nation Conference, the largest annual conference focused on progressive politics. This year’s event drew the largest crowd yet, with people energized and focused on defeating Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential election. Here’s what you need to know about what took place at Netroots.

Powerful speech by @JessLivMo on the concentration camps, as #NN19 attendees gather in a symbolic cage.

“It will take more than symbolic action. Last time it took a war.”

We've donated, rallied, called. But we need to do more to stop this atrocity!#CloseTheCamps pic.twitter.com/bCQQioeZR3

The next day, conference attendees took part in a nationwide protest against immigrant detention centers and Trump’s attacks directed at immigrant communities. 

The large crowd marching down market street with City Hall at their backs. “Whose children? Our children! Whose families? Our families!” It’s about 90 degrees with little shade but energy is high. A lot of out of towners because of #NN19 but local activists are in the front. pic.twitter.com/KScbSofMmY

➡️ Rep. @AyannaPressley at @Netroots_Nation earlier today: "If we improve the conditions of a child in a cage, they are still in a cage." https://t.co/64h7y8E1mH #NN19
