Uniting Independents: A Revolution in Politics 

For too long, the enormous population of U.S. Independents have been fractured and fragmented, incapable of rising above the domination of the two-party system… until now. 

The Independent National Convention is a convergence of independent leaders from across America, joining forces to bring about a new kind of synergistic politics, one that is not based on party lines or ideological divisions, but on a shared commitment to work together to progress the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice for all.

With over 50% of Americans declaring independence from the major two parties, it's time for us to come together and set a new trajectory for our nation.

Join this groundswell of change-makers gathering in Austin this April to learn from each other, coordinate efforts, and celebrate our resolve to rebirth our nation.   

You’re Invited to This Historic Convergence 

Make the choice to come to INC ‘23 Austin. It will be an unforgettable experience– a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of history-in-the-making.
