United We Stand TOUR 2026
United We Stand is an annual nationwide tour dedicated to engaging younger generations in local and national civics through the power of music, arts, and education. We have held large annual gatherings of musicians, artists, thought leaders, celebrities, comedians, independent media, Indigenous leaders, conscious businesses, community leaders, and independent candidates to transform how we elect our future leaders on a decentralized platform. Each stop on the tour starts from a place of prayer.
Organized by The Free & Equal Elections Foundation, the United We Stand Tour aims to inspire civic participation, educate voters about the importance of running for office, and promote the principles of free and equal access to the electoral process. We aim for nothing less than the birth of a generation of new leaders outside the bipartisan system, inspired to create a politics beyond the current paradigm.
We are scheduled to kick off Spring 2026 in Texas. We hope you will join us!

Ben & Jerry’s, Uline, Dr. Bronner’s, World Centric, and Nature’s Path are just some of the big names that realized the business importance of helping to heal our society.
And that’s not all we’ve done.
Free & Equal 2024 Presidential Debates
Free & Equal Elections Foundation is no stranger to doing the impossible. In 2024, we hosted four presidential debates, bringing together candidates across the political spectrum to discuss the nation’s critical issues. These debates concluded with an opportunity for viewers to vote for the winner on our ranked choice blockchain voting web app, powered by Nexus.io. This enterprise is a testament to our commitment to transcending the political divide and giving all ballot-qualified candidates a fair chance to present their platforms to the American people.
Congressman Thomas Massie moderated our July 2024 debate and former US Comptroller and No Labels Co-Founder David Walker moderated in October 2024, bringing a unique perspective and ensuring a balanced discussion. The final debate included United We Stand musical performances, setting a powerful tone for the important discussions that followed. Our October debate hit national news and our January debate was the only debate to include the winner of the American Samoa Democratic Primary, Jason Palmer.
In 2028, the United We Stand Tour will present our next series of Presidential Debates.
