Join activists, policy-makers, journalists and concerned citizens for a day of informed conversations about where our country and our state are today, and how we can work towards a better future.

Presented by The Fund for New Jersey in partnership with NJPAC, this day-long convening will include discussions about protecting immigrant communities, boosting civic participation and how the rising cost of everything — from healthcare to housing — changes who gets to achieve “the American dream.”

New York Times political columnist Jamelle Bouie will offer a keynote speech on civics and citizenship. ACLU-NJ Political Director John Butler will be a panelist on "Voting is Just the Beginning: Building a Culture of Democracy in New Jersey." Tickets include lunch.

Co-produced with Crossroads NJ, an initiative of The Fund for New Jersey. Sponsored by The Fund for New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Victoria Foundation and Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
