18th Annual Global Citizen Beer Summit Conversation on Race, Class & Power – Aug 5
Posted by Global Citizen on June 9, 2026
A powerful annual convening for a candid dialogue about the structural inequities that shape our society.
Please join us on Wednesday, August 5, 6 – 8 p.m. for the 18th annual Global Citizen Beer Summit Conversation on Race, Class & Power. This year’s conversation will focus on Erasing American History: The Assault on Black America. A focal point of the conversation will be the ongoing movement to preserve, protect, and defend the President’s House Slavery Memorial on Independence Mall.
The annual Beer Summit conversation brings together diverse groups who are interested in issues of racial and social justice. It will be moderated by Global Citizen board chair and iHeartMedia Philadelphia director of news and community affairs, Loraine Ballard Morrill, with presentations by three conversationalists (panelists), as well as everyone participating in small breakout conversations led by table facilitators.
Free beer, soft drinks, and light food will be served. As always, we hope to leave the event with a plan of citizen action.
Location: Independence Visitor Center, 599 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
