Thrive2: United for Democracy and Global Action

**Thrive2: United for Democracy and Global Action** is a free, online gathering for people who want practical ways to support and strengthen democracy. Join us on **September 10 and 17, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM Central** for two evenings of interactive workshops, resource showcases, conversations, and opportunities to connect with educators, librarians, organizers, nonprofit leaders, civic practitioners, community advocates, and everyday citizens. Thrive2 is designed to help participants better understand the current democratic moment, build the confidence and skills to become more involved, and identify realistic actions they can take in their communities, schools, organizations, and networks. We are currently seeking: **Attendees** who want to learn, connect, and find meaningful ways to participate in democratic life. **Presenters** with practical tools, programs, strategies, resources, and experiences that can help others take action. **Media partners** including newsletters, podcasts, publications, associations, and networks that can help us spread the word and connect more people with civic resources. Democracy thrives when we show up. Join us, share what works, and help more people become informed, confident, connected, and active participants in democratic life.
