We’re thrilled to announce the 4th Annual Powerful IDEA Awards & Democracy Career Expo — and we’d love for you to be a part of it!
Day 1 begins with the Democracy Career Expo on June 24.
The Democracy Expo will feature:
- Career Fair: Connecting professionals interested in democracy, elections, and advocacy work with organizations hiring for the 2025-2026 cycle
- Expo Hall: Providing organizations, companies, and vendors space to showcase their programs, products, and services
- Panels: Offering sessions on career development, job opportunities, and career pathways in progressive politics
Day 2 will begin with the Expo, and then Wednesday evening we will host the Powerful IDEA Awards Ceremony.
This year’s event is co-chaired by: Reyna Walters-Morgan, DNC Vice Chair for Civic Engagement and Voter Participation and Chuck Rocha, President & Founder of Solidarity Strategies.
We’ll be joined by incredible changemakers from across the country, including the legendary Congressman Steny Hoyer, who will be recognized for his decades of public service and deep impact on our democracy.
The Powerful IDEA (Impact on Democracy, Elections, Advocacy) Awards were established by GAIN Power to recognize excellence in progressive politics. GAIN Power created these awards because, while many industries have recognition programs—from the Oscars to the Emmys, Grammys, Webby, and Clio Awards—the progressive political ecosystem lacked a comprehensive program that celebrated its unique contributions.
