The Us@250 Experience: Building a New American Future
Scholars, artists, and activists explore renewing American democracy through local storytelling and curiosity.
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, New America’s Us@250 initiative aims to celebrate the nation’s progress, reckon with its problematic past, and spark conversations about the future of America. The initiative provides a unifying framework for the semiquincentennial, hosts an annual fellowship, and conducts a national event series to bring people together across differences.
