Building the American Dream: Work, Tech, and Community in a Shifting Economy

As the nation nears the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we ask ourselves: How does the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness hold up today?
Through contrasting perspectives, speakers explore what opportunity means in 21st-century America—examining economic mobility, the changing nature of work, the rise of new technologies, and the evolving foundations of our social contract.
This session is produced by the Karsh Institute of Democracy.
Speakers will be announced soon.
