We Build Progress

"America is spreading democracy." "Protecting our interests abroad."

But whose interests, exactly?

Not yours. Not mine. Not the communities bearing the cost of U.S. military aggression. The interests driving U.S. foreign policy belong to oil companies, arms dealers, and CEOs who spend millions lobbying Washington to keep the war machine running — because it's very, very good for business.

At Netroots Nation on June 4, we're putting that analysis in front of the movement — out loud, with experts who work on these issues every day.

We Build Progress is heading to Netroots Nation 2026 in Philadelphia with two panels on some of the most urgent fights facing the progressive movement.

🌐 U.S. Foreign Policy: Sponsored by Corporate Greed
Thursday, June 4 | 1–2 PM ET | Pennsylvania Convention Center
What's really driving U.S. foreign policy? Not democracy — oil companies, arms dealers, and CEOs. We'll break it down using Venezuela and Iran as case studies, and hear from Philadelphia Quaker peace activists about what resistance looks like at home.

Featuring: Public Citizen, Justice Is Global, American Friends Service Committee, & Center for International Policy

⚖️ The Right's War on Progressive Philanthropy
Friday, June 5 | 3–4 PM ET | Room 122B
The Trump administration is using the DOJ, courts, executive orders, and Congress to choke progressive funding. BIPOC-led organizations are disproportionately targeted. We'll explore what's at stake and how our movement is fighting back.

Featuring: Women Donors Action, Solidaire, special guest Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, Public Citizen

See you in Philadelphia. 🏛️
