"I am honored to deliver a keynote at the Independent National Convention. The timing could not be better. Americans are demanding change – new faces like those we will be seeing in Austin and new electoral systems that will elect people who will truly represent them.

Today, Congress is chosen in party primaries by a small slice of the most partisan and extreme voters. Final Five Voting chooses our representatives in the general election, and the winners suddenly have the right incentives: to innovate, make trade-offs, and meet the public policy challenges of our time. Independents play a major role in the Final Five process. They aren’t frozen out by party primaries, and, because of instant runoffs, they don’t play spoiler roles in the general elections.

I am thrilled to attend the convention and meet the people who are changing America." - Katherine Gehl

About the Independent National Convention

The degree of dysfunction in our political society, and the appalling consequences on human lives and nature, are calling citizens around the nation to realize we must stop waiting for others to ‘fix the problems’ and step into civic stewardship ourselves.

Seeing the two-party systems as a driver of so many of our problems, many of these rising leaders are opting out of the two traditional political channels and declaring their civic activism Independent from the old systems.

The upcoming Independent National Convention is a countrywide convergence of these Independent Civic Stewards working at all scales; from national leaders to community organizers, authors to entrepreneurs, candidates to seasoned activist organizations and independent political parties.

INC ‘23 Austin is for these leaders to form new relationships and strengthen existing ones while we increase alignment around message, strategy and roadmap so the US Independent sector can assemble into a world-changing United Independent Movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the HISTORY of the Independent National Convention?

The first INC was held in October 2020 in Cheyenne, Wyoming by a collection of Independent Sector activists. That convention also hosted the final 2020 Independent Presidential Debate produced by Free & Equal Elections. At that convening, the Independent National Union (INU) was formed as a new organizing body to support the vision, roadmap, coordination and impact of the Independent Sector. INC Austin is the second Independent National Convention, produced by the Independent National Union.
