Our annual event is a time-honored tradition.
Recent speakers have included Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and Kerry Washington just to name a few.
The 2024 Democracy in Action celebration – held in person on June 7, 2024 at 6:30 PM ET at the Conrad in Washington, DC – will recognize leaders, from a range of industries and movements, who advance the power of women at home, in the workplace, in the classroom, at the doctor’s office, on the picket line, at the ballot box, in the halls of government, and every place between.
