The right is winning the internet—meme-ing their way to the end of democracy—while establishment Democrats push back with cringy, consultant-approved content that no one wants to share. The stakes are too high to leave this fight to octogenarian legislators, political hacks and their poll-tested talking points. The dynamic candidates, campaigns, and movements that powered these most recent electoral wins has only made that clearer. That’s why we’re bringing together the most badass creators, campaigners, and influencers we know. Creatives with a bold, progressive vision for the future of this country. Who know how to meet people where they're at, make content that connects, and build lasting influence—alongside funders and producers ready to make it happen.
