Friend,
In the months since our Summit, Principles First has continued to grow, with new volunteers stepping up across the country and fresh gatherings taking place in new cities.
The next few weeks are packed with action: a virtual town hall, dinners in Greenville, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Denver, Colorado. Every event strengthens our momentum and brings more principled Americans into this growing community.
Thank you for being part of it. We hope to see you at an upcoming event, or work with you locally, as we grow the Principles First community and refocus our country on the foundational principles that have long made it a beacon to the world.
Next: Virtual Town Hall
[link removed]
With so much happening around the country and the world, we are launching a new series of virtual town halls in between our regularly scheduled events. Our first, titled "Bridges Not Walls: Rebuilding Relationships Across Political Divides," is scheduled for Thursday, June 26th, at 8pm ET, and is free to join.
The discussion will focus on bridging political divides and rebuilding connections within our communities. Led by
Rich ([link removed]) Logis ([link removed]) , founder of Leaving MAGA, speakers will share their personal journeys of growth, change, and building understanding across the political spectrum. Whether you're looking to better understand family or friends with different views, improve damaged relationships, or learn about building bridges in polarized times, this conversation will offer concrete strategies to put the civility back into civil discourse.

Principles First is headed to South Carolina this weekend. Join us at The Lazy Goat, Saturday June 28th from 6pm-8:30pm EST.
Our featured speakers will deliver keynote remarks and participate in a discussion entitled “Community Foundations: Families, Faith, and Civic Life” focused on the role our institutions play in forming and maintaining the fabric of American culture.
We are excited to announce that Russell Moore will join us as a featured speaker, in conversation with our founder, Heath Mayo. We will also be joined by Bob Inglis, former U.S. Congressman for the 4th district in South Carolina and sitting state representative Neal Collins representing the 5th district from Pickens County.

SAVE THE DATE:

Call for Volunteers: Iowa State Fair
[link removed]
We are planning a big rally-style gathering at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, August 17 starting at noon Central Time. The gathering will feature lunch for any fairgoers who stop by, a series of remarks from potential 2028 presidential hopefuls, and a townhall Q&A to hear and discuss Iowans' concerns.
We are still looking for Principles First volunteers to help us blanket the fairgrounds Sunday morning to spread the word about the gathering and direct fairgoers to the pavilion.
This will be a great way to visit the Iowa State Fair with Principles Firsters from around the country and to interact with Iowa voters on important public issues.
If you are interested in helping, please email Brittany Martinez at
