VIEW THE CONFERENCE LIVESTREAM:
Join us for a seminal conversation about the two things that matter most in a capitalist democracy: POWER and MONEY.
WHEN: March 24, 2021 — 3:00 – 5:00PM ET
WHERE: Virtually from Washington, DC
Inequality, the root cause of social unrest, is higher in America today than it has been in 100 years – with devastating consequences. Our democracy is under siege, 2.5 million people are addicted to opioids, deaths of despair – deaths due to alcohol, suicide, and drugs – are at the highest point ever recorded, and for the first time, life expectancy is going down for segments of our population. Something is wrong in America. It’s time to fix it. Join us as we unravel the tangled web of Power and Money in America and discuss how we got to this point and, most importantly, where we go from here.
