Town Hall Presents

An election can change who holds power. Movements determine what happens next.

The 2026 midterms will leave the country at a national inflection point. Some of us may be celebrating. Others may feel discouraged, angry, or uncertain. But whatever happens at the ballot box, communities and movements working for justice continue to face many of the same interconnected challenges – and a critical question: What do we do next?

This conversation brings together leaders from across the social justice spectrum – not for another round of post-election analysis, but to look forward. What changed, and what didn’t? Where are communities most at risk? What aren’t we paying enough attention to? And what can we do together that we’re still doing separately?

At a time when movements are often divided by issue, constituency, and strategy, this panel will explore intersections. To think across movements, to understand where communities and issues can converge in new ways, and to consider what this moment requires of all of us.
