What happens after a people-powered campaign wins—when governing begins under the relentless pressure of big money, entrenched interests, and institutional constraints?

Join us for a timely discussion, “Governing in the Shadow of Big Money,” examining what the 2025 New York City mayoral race reveals about power, money, and democracy—and what it may signal for the future of progressive governance nationwide.

This discussion will dig beneath the headlines to explore how wealth and influence shape what’s possible once reformers take office.

This is a conversation for organizers, advocates, movement leaders, and anyone asking the hard but necessary question:
How do we govern for the people when big money never stops governing against them?

We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful, candid exchange about power - how it’s exercised, how it’s resisted, and how we build democratic systems that can withstand it.
