[Upcoming Event] The Next American Revolution: Breaking Oligarchy and Making a New Democracy
June 24th, 2026 | 9am - 6pm
Top of the Hill - Washington, DC
1 Constitution Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002
America is living through an unprecedented moment. Since January 2025, it has become vastly easier to see how all-powerful corporations threaten our most basic liberties by directly aligning with an authoritarian regime, imposing dangerous technologies without public oversight, and suppressing free speech and the free press. As a result, ever more people understand that we must overthrow the flawed system of law that made it possible to concentrate so much power and control in the hands of the few.
Join us June 24 as we bring policymakers, researchers, journalists, technology and policy experts, and political strategists together for a day-long event to present a broad and inspiring vision for a true renewal of our nation. We will focus on the ideas, narratives, strategies, big picture policy solutions, and mass organizing we’ll need to win power. And how to then use that power to rebuild a political economy designed to support the full freedom and flourishing of every American.
Designed to shape the next phase of American political debate, this event will elevate the fight against concentrated private power as a central priority for democratic renewal—while helping refine and mainstream emerging arguments around platform power and political economy.
Equally important, it will help align often-siloed communities—policymakers, technologists, labor advocates, and communicators—and help create a more cohesive plan to translate public anger into systemic change. At a time of rising authoritarian threats and demand for a radically new approach, this event is a timely intervention to help define what comes next.
