On July 4, 2026, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Next250 has launched as a nationwide, multi-year initiative using the 250th anniversary of the US as an opportunity to bring people together around shared values and issues, and to imagine and build a future rooted in justice, belonging, dignity, democracy, and interdependence.

On June 27, 2026, Next250 will host All of US 250, a nationwide day of action for truth, equality, and freedom. From rallies and protests across the country to a gathering in Washington, DC, this day of action is a chance to raise your voice, build community, and take action together.
