Dear Friend, Next year, 250 years after the founding of U.S. democracy, we’ll gather to write its next chapter. PolicyLink’s 2026 Summit will bring thousands of us together to reimagine how to advance a nation that serves all — one that has not yet existed, but is ours to create. August 24–28, 2026 Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center Washington, DC Area Register by December 31 for the Early-Bird Discount! At this crucial moment, we will come together with a shared purpose to stake our claim to a future where all can thrive. If you joined us in 2024, you know what’s possible when we gather: We were moved by powerful keynote speakers like Ibram X. Kendi, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Isabel Wilkerson, who reminded us of our collective power to shape the next chapter of our democracy. Janelle Monáe lifted all our spirits in an unforgettable concert, celebrating our work to advance a democracy for all. We learned from each other as organizers, artists, policymakers, historians, and leaders across every field, each bringing vision, skill and purpose to this shared journey.
