Agenda

EARNCon 2026 will bring state and local movement leaders together in the nation’s capital at a moment when our country is marking its 250th anniversary but its core values and institutions are in deep crisis. This year’s conference will celebrate our conviction that the country will never achieve the highest ideals of its founding until we truly center people, equity, and collective action.  Together, we will affirm our collective commitment to racial and gender equity, economic justice, and democracy, while sharpening state policy and organizing strategies that deliver an economy that works for all. With discussions on topics such as strengthening unions and workplace protections, building and sustaining robust public programs that safeguard economic security, and how community-labor organizing can drive local policy change, EARNCon 2026 will be a place to learn, inspire, and unite against current threats while—from the ground up—setting a clear course towards a more perfect union.During EARNCon 2026, we are celebrating Economic Policy Institute’s 40 years as the working people’s think tank. Thursday, October 1st will include workshops and two plenaries followed by a reception reflecting four decades of the cutting-edge research centering the lives of working people.  Your purchase of a 3-day EARNCon ticket or a Thursday-only ticket includes all EPI40 sessions and the evening event. If you would like to purchase a ticket to the EPI40 reception only, please visit EPI40 Reception registration page.
