We are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the time we were able to spend in community with partners and friends at our 2024 Equity Summit, “A Revolution of the Soul.” We want to extend a deep appreciation for those who joined us in Atlanta.

The call to action was clear.

The highest aspiration of equity has always been to deliver a future where all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. A future where all truly means all. 

Delivering a future where everyone can thrive requires each of us to take up the mantle of owning this nation, with all of its faults and all of its promise. We must transform its laws, regulations, customs, and institutions. And we must drive this transformation with both individual and collective souls that love and honor all.

The story of democracy in the United States is not over, and its unfinished history is our inheritance. We are honored to hold the pen with you. 

In the coming weeks, we will be sharing more information and highlights from our time together. And in the coming months, leading up to our 2026 Equity Summit in Washington, DC, we will be fostering touch points and opportunities for us to build and advance an affirmative vision for our nation, together. 

In the meantime, we would like to share the series of papers that we published in partnership with the Stanford Social Innovation Review, titled “A Revolution of the Soul.”

• In “Our Journey to a Consciousness of All,” Our CEO Michael McAfee and President Ashleigh Gardere share PolicyLink’s own journey to embrace the “all” as the fullest expression of equity — and what that means for us as individuals, us as an organization, and us as a movement. 
• In “A Revolution of the Soul,” Our CEO Michael McAfee and VP of Research Abbie Langston describe the revolution of the soul that is necessary to ensure we can build the flourishing multiracial democracy that has not yet existed, but is ours to create.

Thank you for being in community with us and for continuing to walk this journey with us.
