About

Location information will be provided in a separate email once your registration has been confirmed.

The American people have over the past few decades seen their grip on their economic and personal agency become more tenuous. In DC and beyond, wages have stagnated while inflation continues to rise, making incomes that once put workers squarely in the middle class in a position of economic precarity. At the same time, wealth continues to accumulate at record levels among the top 1%, while ordinary Americans struggle through the pandemic, prepare for a recession, and worry about social and economic strife.

Join fellow NationSwell Council members for an informative and engaging dinner conversation where we will tackle questions of how we can restore, or better yet, interrogate and reimagine the American Dream and create an inclusive and equity-driven society and economy that works for all. We will examine where our individual and collective power lies — in the workplace, in the economy, and in our communities — and how we can wield it in solidarity to restore our agency and positively impact our economic and social outcomes.

This participatory event is for local Council members who are interested in social justice, economic opportunity, and generational equity.
