About Unrig
Unrig Summit is the premier right-left summit to solve America’s political crisis. It’s the brightest minds from the right and left working together to unrig our broken system. In 2018, we convened the movement in New Orleans, and in 2019, we came together again in Nashville.
For 2021, the Summit comes in an exciting and fresh new format in Austin, TX.
From October 9 - 11, the summit shines a bright light on the most vital and unmissable content for the democracy reform movement — powerful speakers, inspiring leaders, world class entertainment and more. This year is a more focused program in a more intimate setting, featuring an all-day lineup on one mainstage, a breakout room for interactive workshops and trainings, and a select few highly-curated experiences to help us connect and collaborate — and of course, Unrigged Live! an evening of world-class entertainment to celebrate our movement like never before.
Together we’ll spotlight our movement’s most innovative ideas, most promising campaigns, and most inspiring speakers. You won’t want to miss a moment, and the streamlined program means you won’t have to.
Since the inaugural Unrig Summit in 2018, participants have gone on to lead the largest wave of democracy reform victories in American history, including spearheading anti-gerrymandering initiatives in four states, (MI, UT, CO, MO), winning ethics, transparency, and campaign finance reforms in cities and states across the country, and restoring the vote to 1.4M citizens in Florida.

For 2021, the Summit comes in an exciting and fresh new format in Austin, TX.
From October 9 - 11, the summit shines a bright light on the most vital and unmissable content for the democracy reform movement — powerful speakers, inspiring leaders, world class entertainment and more. This year is a more focused program in a more intimate setting, featuring an all-day lineup on one mainstage, a breakout room for interactive workshops and trainings, and a select few highly-curated experiences to help us connect and collaborate — and of course, Unrigged Live! an evening of world-class entertainment to celebrate our movement like never before.
Together we’ll spotlight our movement’s most innovative ideas, most promising campaigns, and most inspiring speakers. You won’t want to miss a moment, and the streamlined program means you won’t have to.
Since the inaugural Unrig Summit in 2018, participants have gone on to lead the largest wave of democracy reform victories in American history, including spearheading anti-gerrymandering initiatives in four states, (MI, UT, CO, MO), winning ethics, transparency, and campaign finance reforms in cities and states across the country, and restoring the vote to 1.4M citizens in Florida.
