Across the country, communities are facing the cascading impacts of tax and budget cuts, while wealthy individuals and big corporations benefit at the expense of the public good. At the same time, a growing movement of state and national leaders is advancing bold revenue strategies, reshaping public narratives, and reclaiming tax and budget policy as tools to invest in people, strengthen public systems, and build a more democratic and equitable future.
The 2026 Fair Tax Summit is a national strategy convening designed to accelerate our movement. Bringing together organizers, advocates, policy experts, and philanthropic partners, the highly-interactive Summit creates space to bridge state and federal strategies, align around shared principles, and catalyze our collective action.
There is no cost for non-profit partners to attend the Fair Tax Summit, but all participants must register in advance to attend.*
