Exclusive invitation to our Summit

Principles First hosts an annual three-day grassroots summit in Washington, D.C. every year in the spring to discuss and advance a more principled politics in the United States. Presidential hopefuls, elected officials, leading journalists, thought leaders, and noted academics offer substantive discussion about the meaning of the liberal tradition, the state of American politics, and how we can preserve and strengthen our country in the years ahead.

Thank you for joining us in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club for a two-day grassroots summit on conservatism's meaning & the path to a more principled future for our country.

Discussions with elected officials

Principles First holds virtual town halls with elected officials and candidates. Our politicians and future leaders need to know that the principled lane in our politics exists and that we are ready to support them if they lead with principle. Our members are actively engaged in the political process at every level of government. We knock doors for candidates, we donate to campaigns, and we work closely with other principled organizations to advance our principles.
