A Constitution for 2076
Envisioning the Constitution we need For a better future
We are approaching a potential window of opportunity for expansive constitutional reimagining
In 2029, as America emerges from its most consequential period of democratic backsliding in recent history, we believe a window will open.
Moments like this—when political alignments shift and public attention turns to the fundamentals of our system—have historically been when the country is most able to consider structural reform. But windows open only briefly, and only those who prepared in advance are positioned to act.
To meet this moment, pro-democracy amendment work of all types—spanning campaign finance, rights protections, congressional and electoral reform, emergency powers, and emerging domains like data and AI governance—must be connected, not siloed.
How we’re preparing
-
Coordinating Nationally
for a pro-democracy vision and amendment package in 2027, aligning leaders across structural reform areas with those preparing for a potential 2029 window of opportunity
-
Catalyzing leadership and strategic readiness
around amendment priorities with limited or absent organized national advocacy, including, on the Right to Health and key Congressional reforms
-
Establishing durable state-level infrastructure
by building networks of Democracy Futurists who collaborate with state and national partners to build the capacity and culture necessary for effective governance, policy innovation, and accountability to civil society.

The history of our vision for the future.
Catalyzing the coalition: Implementation
In June 2025, we hosted our third national convening focusing on connecting current, defensive work to the long-term building of a new Constitution; deepening our understanding of the coalition needed to amend the Constitution and engagement strategies; and refining the plan we began building in 2024.
We are now working to execute our refined strategy with partners at the state and national levels.
A campaign for Constitutional change
In June 2024, we completed our second convening, where we reassembled participants from December 2023 including state organizers, along with national networks and issue-area advocates on the three themes we aligned on in December (guaranteed basic rights/universal basic income, Congressional reform, and elections reform). Together participants developed a strategy to start moving the amendments identified in 2023 from the drawing board to the governing chamber.
Designing a Constitution for 2076
In December 2023, we brought together 53 participants from 43 states and DC for four days of scenario planning and networking. Participants identified 68 possible amendments to the Constitution that would help create the conditions for a thriving future democracy over the next 50 years. We built alignment on three main categories of amendments—guaranteed basic rights/universal basic income, Congressional reform, and elections reform—that we are now working to move forward.
