Dream for America (501c3) and Dream for Action (501c4) are launching our first-ever national conference: DemocracyFest 2025 β a virtual one-day, high-energy, youth-led summit bringing together hundreds of young progressive, pro-democracy leaders for a powerful day of organizing, learning, and connection.
The conference features high-profile speakers, interactive training sessions, networking opportunities, and issue-focused discussions — all while celebrating freedom, democracy, and the promise of America.
Whether you’re tuning in from a campus dorm or your living room, DemocracyFest is your opportunity to plug into a national movement for change. After the conference, participants will return to their campuses and communities more energized than ever to fight fascism and defend democracy.
This experience is designed to help students, chapter leaders, and attendees of all kinds develop leadership skills, build organizing power, and access incredible resources and opportunities from Dream for America and its partner organizations.
DemocracyFest is THE must-attend event for students, organizers, patriots, and democracy defenders across the country. If you want to hear from the biggest names in progressive politics and connect with young leaders from every corner of the U.S. β this is where YOU need to be.
