Liberalism for the 21st Century
"LibCon2026" is bringing together widely divergent liberals determined to defeat authoritarianism
Below we are re-posting a missive from Shikha Dalmia, editor of the UnPopulist Substack, laying out the agenda and making the case for the upcoming LibCon2026. LibCon is the “Liberalism for the 21st Century” conference. This year’s theme is the Reconstruction Coalition. That’s UnPopulist speak for what we at the Renovator would call the Renovation Coalition.
So read below and sign up! This is a chance for Renovators everywhere to help forge the coalition we need to change our politics.
On July 16, I’ll be doing a live podcast-taping with David French and Jamelle Bouie.
On July 17, I’ll be doing a fireside chat with Ezra Klein.
We’ll all be involved in one of my favorite activities: thinking out loud together in public.
The conference is filling fast, but they are keeping a waitlist, so run, don’t walk, to registration!
Hope to see you there,
— Danielle
