Join the Committee of Seventy as we celebrate our 120th anniversary with our signature annual event this fall. This year’s program, titled America at a Crossroads, will feature an illuminating discussion between CNN’s Chris Wallace and 6ABC’s Tamala Edwards.

The Committee of Seventy, with support from the William Penn Foundation, hosted a series of briefings beginning in the fall of 2023 to help manage upcoming transitions into office for the Mayor and City Council. In an effort to share insights from the briefings with the public, Seventy released several columns on the sessions written by Dave Davies.
