The States Convene: The Philadelphia Forum on Federalism

April 16-16, 2027
Philadephia, PA

State legislative leaders and Attorneys General will gather in historic Philadelphia to celebrate our Constitution and reaffirm the principles of federalism that have shaped our democracy for more than 250 years.

As the balance of power between state and federal governments faces renewed challenges, this landmark gathering will explore how states can work together to protect their constitutional authority and strengthen the federal system envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

Through candid discussions and shared perspectives, participants will examine strategies for greater collaboration between state legislatures and Attorneys General, exploring how they can work across state lines and party affiliations to uphold state sovereignty and preserve the constitutional balance of power.
