HOW WE WIN, Tax the Rich, and Save the World.

Patriotic Millionaires 7th Annual Spring Symposium

STREAM OUR 2026 SPRING SYMPOSIUM

Relive HOW WE WIN, Tax the Rich, and Save the World, our 2026 Spring Symposium unpacking the ideas, tactics, leaders, and movement forces driving a bold, new vision for the nation. Tune in to our conversation on how to set the stage for durable prosperity, resilient democracy and the rich, stable and free nation the vast majority of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, actually want.

ABOUT THE EVENT

HOW WE WIN, Tax the Rich, and Save the World was a no-holds-barred, invite-only convening of donors, strategists, policy experts, activists, candidates, and elected leaders. Over three jam-packed hours, speakers and panelists explored how to leverage the potent, pivotal moment America finds itself in to seize political power, cripple authoritarian forces, and put working people at the center of our politics.

​One thing that Tuesday morning was made clear: the goal is simple. Defeat the oligarchs, wrestle the dark forces of today’s politics back into the hidden recesses of the human mind where they belong, and recognize that true victory is the predominance of our economic vision, not just a change in political party.

​In the end, HOW WE WIN unpacked the ideas, tactics, leaders, and movement forces driving a bold, new vision for the nation. Participants set the stage for durable prosperity, resilient democracy, and the rich, stable, and free nation the vast majority of Americans want.
