Thrive: United for Democracy and Global Action (Thrive2) is a two-part virtual convening designed to activate, connect, and equip people committed to strengthening democracy—at a moment when participation matters more than ever.
Taking place in the lead-up to the United States midterm elections, Thrive2 brings together educators, organizers, nonprofit leaders, business professionals, and engaged citizens from the U.S. and around the world. While the immediate focus is on supporting informed participation in the U.S. democratic process, the conference is grounded in a broader global mission: sharing strategies, tools, and partnerships that strengthen democratic resilience everywhere.
Across two dynamic live sessions—
participants will engage in interactive workshops, panels, and collaborative experiences designed to move beyond awareness and into action.
Democracy is not self-sustaining—it depends on active, informed participation across sectors and communities. As misinformation spreads, civic trust erodes, and polarization deepens, the need for practical, collaborative approaches to democratic engagement has never been greater.
Thrive2 directly addresses this moment by focusing on one central question:
How do we activate more people—across sectors and across borders—to participate meaningfully in democracy?
Thrive is not a traditional conference—it is a working, global convening built around action and collaboration.
Cross-Sector by Design
We bring together voices from education, business, nonprofits, community organizing, media, and government—because democracy work cannot happen in silos.
Action-Oriented Learning
Sessions are designed to equip participants with concrete tools, strategies, and resources they can immediately apply in their own contexts.
