As the United States begins its semiquincentennial (250th) in 2026, communities across the country are asking an urgent question: What’s next, America?
In this webinar, Cristin Brawner, Executive Director of the National Issues Forum Institute (NIFI), previews America’s Next 250, a nationwide initiative designed to help Americans turn conversation into action where they live, work, and learn. Cristin shares inspiring and practical insight about how anyone and everyone can strengthen democracy, particularly at the local level, and shape the country’s next chapter.
Watch to learn how local voices can shape America's next 250 years via:
What civic tools and resources will be available through America’s Next 250;
How to use deliberative discussion guides and talk-to-action trainings in your community;
Real examples of people solving problems and building opportunity using NIFI’s proven approaches; and
How storytelling and dialogue can connect neighbors and spark collective action.
As we observe America at 250, this webinar is ideal for anyone interested in building their civic muscle in 2026, whether through a professional role in communications and/or advocacy, or in your personal capacity as an involved citizen.
