We made it to the last day of ! 🥳

This has been such an amazing conference, and we can’t wait to round out Road Ahead with our final plenaries, “Investing in the World We Deserve: A Conversation with Funding Partners” and “Shaping Our Tomorrow: Harnessing Ballot Measures for Equity + Justice.”

Thank you all for making the first two days of Road Ahead such an incredible success, we can’t wait to share in this final day with the Road Ahead community! 🤩

As day two of comes to a close, the BISC team has been reflecting on how thankful we are for this community. 💌

As our Executive Director always says, we can make ballot measures love letters to our people, and Road Ahead is a love letter to our community. This space is filled with so much joy, brilliance, and celebration - and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We’ll see you tomorrow for the final day of ! 🥳

Day two of is off to an amazing start! 🎉

In our first session of the day, BISCuits Quentin, Jennifer, and Hillary-Anne led us in the inspiring plenary, “Election Connection: Celebrating the Wins That Build Movements.” We know that ballot measure campaigns are not just about winning on Election Day — they’re about building power, engaging communities, and laying the groundwork for long-term change.

This morning, we had the opportunity to honor some of our partners who led trailblazing campaigns that did just that. Please join us in giving a HUGE shoutout to LUCHA (), Nebraska’s , the Working Families Party (), , and Floridians Protecting Reproductive Freedom ()! 💐

And that’s a wrap on day one of ! 🤩🪩🗳️

The first day of this year’s conference featured so many amazing sessions - from defending direct democracy, to building coalitions for bodily autonomy, to powering campaigns with research and polling - and much more.

Thank you to all of our wonderful speakers, attendees, sponsors, and the entire Road Ahead community. We’re so happy to be here with you all, and we can’t wait for day two! 🌟
