The 2026 Braver Angels National Convention will be held from June 25th to 28th in none other than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of America, which will be ringing in its 250th anniversary just a week later.
In 2024, over 750 delegates—equally divided between Red and Blue—came to our convention in Kenosha, Wisconsin to restore hope in America. But 2026 will be different—it has to be. As we lead into our country’s Semiquincentennial, more than a thousand delegates from across the political spectrum will step up as leaders and step into courageous citizenship at a moment when our country needs it most.
In 2026, the significance of the Fourth of July, Independence Day, will be unlike any other in our lifetime. You have a chance to be a part of it the Braver Angels Way. Applications to become a delegate to the convention will open in the new year. If you sign up here, you’ll be the first to know about it.
We hope to see you in Philadelphia.
May 21 – 24, 2026 | St. Louis, MO
This national event invites undergraduate, law, and masters students from across the United States with an interest in constitutional law, history, design, and reform to take part in a transformative learning experience focused on the constitutional amendment process, civic engagement and dialogue, and democratic principles and procedures.
The Model Constitutional Convention (MCC) is modeled after a form of Convention described in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The premise of the MCC is that pursuant to Article V of the Constitution, Congress has heeded a call from 2/3 of the states to call a convention for proposing amendments. Delegates representing each state gather to propose, debate, and vote on amendments. Because the MCC is a simulated exercise over a three-day time period, its procedures constitute an approximation of the Article V requirements to amend the Constitution. For example, Article V requires 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify amendments. In contrast, the MCC requires a 3/4 vote at the Convention for an amendment to be approved.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: No Kings. The world saw the power of the people, and President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.
Now, he’s doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.

Most things can’t be understood through a single lens. Light doesn’t shift to become a wave or a particle—it is both, and appears differently depending on how we observe it, with each method exposing something the other conceals.
TEDx is about making ideas visible that reorganize how people see. The talks from this event should help reshape how people interpret the systems, conflicts, or questions they thought they understood.
TEDxPrinceton 2026 is the home for ideas that resist flattening because each angle reveals a part the others miss. We are interested in ideas whose truth emerges when conflicting frames are held together and do not necessarily resolve.
🗓 Two back-to-back Saturdays:
👉 December 27 & January 3 | 1–5 PM CST | 📍 In-person at regional Iowa libraries (Iowa City Public Library + Ames Public Library + Marion Public Library) and 💻 Online
Bring your boldest, wildest, most “this would actually fix things” constitutional amendment ideas. We’re not here to whine about problems—we’re here to write solutions. You pitch it, we debate it, crowdsource the language, and vote. No lobbyists, no billionaires—just us.
🔥 What’s on the chopping block?
- Rigged elections nobody trusts.
- Politicians swimming in corporate cash.
- Voting rights treated like optional DLC.
- Climate change while leaders play golf.
- Healthcare as a luxury item.
- Government that works harder at hiding receipts than fixing problems.
This is Iowa—first in the nation, baby. Other states will follow our lead. You don’t need a powdered wig or a law degree. Just show up with your brain, your voice, and your internet-connected device (seriously, bring your phone).
👊 We’re done waiting for permission. It’s time to write our rules.
RSVP and mark your calendar!

With Rabbi Shefa Gold and Dr. Paul (Pesach-Lev) Zeitz
Shabbat is a Mishkan (a sanctuary) in time. A Mishkan is a dwelling place for Divine Presence. And it is the nexus point between the finite world and the Infinite. On Shabbat we have the opportunity to open the doors between worlds, receive the gifts of our souls and return renewed, refreshed, re-created. Shabbat is a joyful time that is dedicated to Love. We take time away from our busy lives to focus our attention on the heart and to open up the places of silence and spaciousness within us. In this Shabbat Retreat we will enter into the Mysteries of Love through the practices of chant, meditation, sacred conversation and the sanctification of pleasure.
