The 2026 midterm elections will take place in a climate of low trust, high polarization, and widespread scrutiny of elite institutions. Many organizations will be looking for ways to support civic participation without inflaming division, undermining credibility, or crossing legal and reputational lines. Many will be carefully monitoring the political climate for emerging risks and opportunities that intersect with their goals. NationSwell invites leaders from business, philanthropy, and civil society to a candid conversation on how they are preparing for the midterms. We’ll explore what constructive civic engagement looks like today—from employee engagement to community partnerships—and how organizations are planning for a range of scenarios pre- and post-election.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
