River Network has hosted River Rally for decades, bringing the network together for an infusion of learning, inspiration, and celebration. The joyful and deeply moving experience of River Rally combats feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and burnout for network members working at the intersection of water and justice by building knowledge and skills, diversifying perspectives and solutions, recognizing achievements within the network, and strengthening connections. Built by and for the national network of water, justice, and river advocates, River Rally ignites collective action and power for the work ahead.

The 25th River Rally will be an exciting time for the network to gather on the banks of the Grand River in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Expect outstanding local field trips, stimulating sessions, amazing venues, and opportunities to enjoy the riverfront with old and new friends from across the network.

River Network is accepting session proposals for River Rally 2024 through November 10.
