The Purpose of the Upcoming Independent National Convention–Sept 17-19 in Denver
What is Independence and how do we create the world we want?
What is Independence?
Independence is thinking, speaking, and acting according to one’s own conscience—taking responsibility for making choices based on personal moral integrity, free from misaligned external influence. For groups, this translates as collective autonomy, which, like individual independence, requires the internal coherence of clear vision and consistently applied principles.
What is the United Independent Movement?
The United Independent Movement is a growing community committed to reclaiming health, financial and political independence from systems that prioritize profit over well-being.
We envision a future where each person is empowered to realize their best life, our economic systems are just and prosperous for everyone, and our government is led by independent citizens dedicated solely to serving the common good.
By uniting our efforts, we amplify our collective voice and power towards the ultimate mission of life, liberty and justice for all.
What are the Goals of the United Independent Movement?
Achieving pervasive and swift healing from debilitating chronic conditions to foster mental, emotional, and physical well-being for all.
Creating economic conditions that ensure widespread stability and empower all people to pursue their aspirations.
Stewarding our governments with transparency, accountability, and citizen participation, leveraging government faculties to accelerate human healing, ecological regeneration, and transition into a better-designed future.
What is the Purpose of the Independent National Convention?
To catalyze the United Independent Movement by fostering a shared vision, establishing a strategic leadership council to guide the movement, inspiring collaboration and engagement across a broad spectrum of partners, and initiating fundraising efforts to support the development of organizations essential for advancing and safeguarding our mission.
What Happens After INC ‘24 Denver?
Rolling out a national membership program to enable individuals across the U.S. to engage actively, develop new skills, and find their roles within the movement. This includes forming local activism chapters and integrating the national network on a collaborative membership app, while connecting with existing aligned networks.
Establishing a 501(c)3 think tank to serve the common-ground, solution-forward research and the policy needs of the United Independent Movement, while synthesizing insights from existing aligned think tanks and policy innovators.
Launching United Independents Hybrid PAC to pool financial resources and support select candidates, while forming alliances with aligned PACs, Super PACs, and independent political parties.
Commencing candidate recruitment and training, enhanced with capacity-building solutions including campaign technology, media services, and event production capabilities, ensuring that United Independent candidates out-perform less aspirational campaigns and win.
Initiating a national campaign to elect a block of independent candidates to Congress in 2026 committed to advancing the goals of the United Independent Movement–as well as electing independent citizens as local officials around the country.
Our Vision for Better Governance
We envision a government that truly serves the ideals of preventing harm, reducing suffering, and optimizing societal systems such as healthcare, education, defense and environmental management to improve the quality of life for all. This will be realized when our governing institutions are led by officials and administrators who are aligned with these ideals and are held to the highest standards through improved governance policies, cultural norms, and technologies that guarantee transparency and accountability. Citizens will take on the active responsibility of participating in government choice-making and action–ensuring that the public good remains the highest priority and is implemented effectively.
