About the convention
A national conversation, held in one room
For the first time, delegates, organizers and neighbors from across the country convene in a single virtual hall. No travel, no registration fee — just a shared agenda and the people willing to work on it.
Each session pairs a short panel with open floor time, so the platform we publish afterward reflects the room rather than the podium.

Four topical sessions and one general session
