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.

Join Principles First and Issue One in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 19th for a conversation on Religious Liberty: A Shared Constitutional Guarantee. We are thrilled to be joined by former Congresswoman Barbara Comstock; former U.S. Senate candidate and BYU graduate Jared Young; and former CIA analyst, historian, and author of The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism, Holly Berkley Fletcher. More speakers to be announced. Get your tickets here.

Principles First is headed to San Francisco, California on December 4th for our Signature Dinner Series on the Constitution and Policy: Where Law Meets Leadership. We are thrilled to be hosting this event with our friends at the Society for the Rule of Law, and we will be joined by American journalist and former senior editor of the National Review Jay Nordligner, as well as Society for the Rule of Law founder Gregg Nunziata. Tickets are available here.

In case you missed it, we recently announced the 2026 Principles First Summit: America 250 from February 20-22 at the Gaylord in National Harbor, MD, just minutes outside of D.C. Our discussions and programming will focus on highlighting the ideas and leaders that have made America the envy of the world since 1776. You can get tickets here and room blocks are available here.
