First Annual California “Ideas in Action” Policy Conference

How Free Market Ideas Can Build New, Diverse Coalitions

Many have written the obituary for free-market ideas following 2018’s blue wave in California. To the contrary, there are many free-market ideas that have wide, bipartisan appeal and can serve as the foundation for new, diverse coalitions.

PRI’s first annual California “Ideas in Action” Policy Conference will explore how free-market ideas for the state’s most pressing challenges can make a real difference in improving people’s lives and achieve more political balance in California.

Come hear policy experts and real life changemakers at informative panel discussions on:

• California’s Health Care Challenges
• How Charter Schools Help Parents and Students Choose Diversity
• Legislating Energy Poverty
• How Private Charities and Non-Profits Are Lifting People Out of Poverty
