Pride. Reckoning. Aspiration.
As an American, you can experience all of these feelings at the same time: holding pride in our progress, reckoning with our problematic past, and aspiring for a better future.
This is at the heart of New America’s Us@250 initiative—an effort to deepen our understanding of national identity by expanding the American narrative to include the rich, complex histories of all of us.
Ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, join New America this fall for robust conversations on these themes with policymakers, visual artists, community organizers, and more.
Together, we’ll explore the truths and contradictions about ourselves and our country through poetry, film, comedy, story, and music.
We’ll also ask big questions: Given the nation’s history, who might we become if we truly live up to its founding ideals? Who belongs here, and who will be welcome? And how can we make the promise of America available to all?
