What’s Next America?

May 11, 6:00 - 8:00 PM @ The Historic Grove Theater

To mark our nation’s 250th birthday in 2026, the National Issues Forums Institute is launching What’s Next, America? And we are honored to take part!

The initiative will provide tools and resources for Americans to address a challenge or build on an opportunity in their neighborhoods, communities, classrooms, and beyond. Through deliberative discussion guides, talk‐to‐action trainings, and a nationwide story‐gathering effort, America’s Next 250 will elevate local problem‐solving, connect civic actors, and answer the hopeful question: “What’s Next, America?”

Many Americans believe that the time is right for conversations that bring people together who might not normally talk and work together, conversations that will encourage fresh, innovative thinking and actions to emerge.

What’s Next, America? is designed to do just that— connect people who are already working to develop strong communities while bringing new people and new ideas into the mix.
