ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
A LEGACY BUILT.
A FUTURE IGNITED.
The Rainbow PUSH, founded by Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., was built to advance civil rights, economic justice, and equal opportunity for all people—uniting communities across generations to move the nation forward.
We are here to honor that legacy while empowering the next generation to lead, build, and shape the future together.

YOUTH DAY: THE REMIX
As part of the PUSH Annual Conference, join us for The Remix: Youth and Culture Experience, a day designed to inspire, empower, and mobilize the next generation of leaders. Centered on the theme “Fulfilling the American Promise,” this high-energy, multidimensional day will connect young people to the issues shaping their future — from civic engagement and voting rights to career readiness, creative expression, health, and wellness. Attendees will experience powerful conversations, interactive activations, music, DJs, free haircuts, resume and professional headshot stations, food trucks, giveaways, resource fairs, surprise talent, and more. Most importantly, The Remix: Youth and Culture Experience is about helping young people find their voice, build community, and discover how they can get connected to the movement and create real change in their schools, neighborhoods, and communities. The Remix: Youth and Culture Experience is free and open to all teens ages 13–19. Those who register in advance will be entered into a raffle for gift cards and other special giveaways.
