EARNCon 2025

Regular conference programming will begin on Wednesday, November 12 at 1pm and conference programming will conclude on Friday, November 14 at 2pm.

At EARNCon 2025, we will lay the groundwork needed for an equity-enhancing, worker-centered, state and local research and policy agenda for 2026 and beyond. The annual EARN Conference, hosted in partnership with the Economic Policy Institute’s Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy (PREE) will highlight transformative ideas and campaigns to advance racial, economic, and gender justice, and provide space to build skills and strategize together – all while growing and strengthening a community of researchers, policy experts, and grassroots organizers.
