Knight Foundation presents The First at 250 In partnership with Disagree Better and the National Constitution Center

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Join Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) for an honest, lively conversation about the ideas that unite and divide us — and why how we talk to each other matters more than ever. This landmark evening brings together two leaders for a candid fireside chat on the First Amendment, free expression, and how we can rekindle values at the heart of our democracy by learning to disagree better.
