Dear John, Exciting news! We are proud to announce that Baratunde Thurston will return to the PolicyLink Summit stage as our emcee from August 24–28, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in the Washington, D.C. area.
In 2024, Baratunde helped set the tone for our gathering—grounding our conversations in humor, truth-telling, and deep care. His voice invited all of us to see ourselves as the writers of this democracy’s unfinished story.

Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated storyteller, producer, and thought leader weaving stories of interdependence across our relationships with nature, humans, and technology. As the host of PBS's America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston and the creator of the acclaimed How To Citizen podcast, Baratunde has redefined citizenship as a practice of active participation, responsibility, and community building.
And in 2026, Baratunde will guide us once again as we reimagine a democracy that truly serves all.
250 years after the founding of American democracy, the story isn’t finished. We are the founders of what comes next.
