200 Years Later · Still Rising

We Return to this Ground for one reason: to remember the long arc of our power.

On July 19, 1848, 300 women and men signed a declaration in Seneca Falls that launched the women's suffrage movement and changed the course of American history. Two hundred years later, we return to the same ground to finish what they started — and go further. July 18–19, come help us reawaken the matriarchal imagination that can actually save this world.

Themes
01
Rematriation
Advancing a culture of profound stewardship. Our speakers will explore the vital practice of restoring a living, reciprocal relationship with the earth and with each other.
02
Time Sovereignty
Claiming rest as a fundamental human right. Together, we will examine the cultural shifts necessary to disentangle human worth from economic output, one hour at a time.
03
Care Infrastructure
Building a framework where a childcare center demands the immense federal protection of an interstate highway. We will delve into how public works can utilize concrete and steel as instruments of love.
04
Deep Time Capital
Reimagining financial systems to move at the steady speed of a forest. We will embrace patience as the path to true abundance, exploring how to measure societal success across the span of centuries.
"We are assembled to protest against a form of government, existing without the consent of the governed — to declare our right to be free as man is free, to be represented in the government which we are taxed to support."
— Elizabeth Cady Stanton

The End of the Billionaire
"We are not feminists; we are the Law. Until women are put at the forefront of community with leadership positions, decision-making power, and a voice for the people, this country will not be the superpower it was intended to be: Leader of the Free World. This includes putting our mothers, sisters, daughters, and granddaughters upfront, and they should be on the currency and statues across the city and the nation."
— Louise Herne, Mohawk Bear Clan Mother
