National Citizen Leadership Conference

 

The National Citizen Leadership Conference took place in Washington, D.C. June 22-25, 2018. Organized by the American Promise group, the focus was Power Up Together.

Our American democracy and republic are in crisis, and no small measures will do. In every state, Americans are working together to win a Constitutional amendment to stop the big money corruption from super PACs and special interests in our political system so that we the people are back in charge. We are all citizen leaders and we need you in the game, and at the National Citizen Leadership Conference.
