Across the country, Principles First continues to bring together citizens committed to democratic values, civil discourse, and principled engagement. Through local events, town halls, and community discussions, we’re fostering spaces where neighbors can connect, learn, and take meaningful action to strengthen their communities. These gatherings are more than events — they’re opportunities to ensure our democracy thrives at the grassroots level.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event and continuing this important work together.
