2024 Reclaiming Conference
Welcome to our 3rd Annual Conference! We have assembled a coalition of leaders from government, digital platforms, media, academia and civil society to address the imminent threat of disinformation and censorship. You are invited to join citizens from across North America to help us form an international strategy in order to advance freedom and to safeguard our democracies in these rapidly changing times.
We are advocating for a new Congress of Citizens to reimagine nations and to bring forward actionable solutions. We seek to engage in a civil discourse on all spectrums of ideas, opinions and ideology. Our mission is to bring together speakers, delegates, and global participants to engage in peaceful and respectful discussions.
Our mission is to increase the amount of dialogue within our country with a focus on healing polarization which has invariably been shaped by a lack of discussion and treatment of the “other” as an enemy. We hope to utilize robust and diverse discussions to assist us all in finding solutions in order to come together for the betterment of all. It is only through dialogue and civil engagement with one another that we can begin to understand, attain knowledge and heal our divided communities.
We welcome all people regardless of background, ideology or affiliation to attend our conference; however, any communication in speech, or behaviour that attacks an individual will not be tolerated. We count on your support to help us make this Reclaiming Conference a beacon of peaceful and respectful dialogue - strengthening the bonds of society and building a better world for all.
