Crossroads NJ Democracy Forum | October 13
Join us for the 2026 Crossroads NJ Democracy Forum: Fighting for The Future on October 13, 2026, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.
Join activists, policymakers, journalists, and concerned citizens for a day of informed conversations about where our country and our state are today, and how we can work towards a better future.
Presented by The Fund for New Jersey in partnership with NJPAC, this day-long convening will include discussions about protecting immigrant communities, boosting civic participation and how the rising cost of everything — from healthcare to housing — changes who gets to achieve “the American dream.”
New York Times political columnist Jamelle Bouie will offer a keynote speech on civics and citizenship. Tickets include lunch.
