01 / Keep the momentum
The convention
is a beginning.
Not a goodbye.
The important question after a convention is: what will we do with what we learned—and who will we do it with?
Following the Independent National Convention, we're gathering at America House to compare notes, connect the people doing complementary work, and turn fresh insights into shared priorities.
Our ambition is to make this a headquarters for a future of independence from corruption in America: a place where public trust, transparency, and practical cooperation have people working on them together.
The summit is one step in that work. The community and the coordination should outlast the event.

You are not
the audience.
People bring the questions, propose the sessions, and form groups around what matters. Facilitation gives us a way to work together; it doesn't decide what everyone should think.
Find the overlap.
Notice the common threads. Propose a conversation and join the people whose questions connect with yours. Groups follow shared purpose, not a preset size.
Make sense together.
Compare experiences, challenge assumptions, and integrate what you've learned. Bring useful findings back to the wider room so the whole gathering benefits.
Choose a next step.
Make the follow-through concrete: a collaboration, a test, a shared resource, or an action with someone responsible and a time to reconnect.
This is a participant-led format, not a fixed speaker lineup. Session topics and timing will take shape with the people who attend. Check Partiful for host updates.
03 / What belongs here
Care deeply.
Think freely.
Build generously.
People over party labels.
Organizers, creators, builders, researchers, public servants, and engaged neighbors. You don't need a title or a following to bring something valuable.
Intelligence over hierarchy.
A useful idea can come from anyone. Leave room for disagreement, evidence, and the possibility that someone else sees what you've missed.
Trust through action.
Less performance, more participation. Bring what you're working on, what you need, and what you can offer. Let the work make the introduction.

Don't let the good
