Progress 2050 has teamed up with PolicyLink, a national research and action institute advancing economic and social equity, to host a series of roundtables around the country to discuss the demographic projection that by the year 2050, if not sooner, there will no longer be an ethnic majority in our nation. These roundtables bring together local thought leaders, advocates, activists, and academics to discuss the impact of the demographic shift and the challenges and opportunities a more diverse nation brings. They also explore a new vision of 2050 and which investments we need to make to create broadly shared prosperity. The first roundtable took place on July 11, 2011, in Arlington, Virginia.
