Hi folks,

Netroots Nation 2026 kicks off in Philadelphia today. As the nation’s largest gathering of progressive organizers, advocates, and changemakers, this conference will feature critical conversations on how to strengthen democracy, expand economic justice, and build a better future for all of us.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to Philadelphia this year. But this conversation is too important to miss.

Today’s Thom Hartmann Program will be broadcast LIVE from Netroots Nation with a special guest host: Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works.

Alex is one of the country’s leading voices in the fight to protect and expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. For years, he has been on the front lines advocating for retirement security, affordable health care, and policies that put people ahead of corporate interests.

I hope you’ll tune in and join us for this special live broadcast from Netroots Nation.

• Thom
