Young America’s Foundation (YAF) is excited to announce a new expanded partnership with The Daily Wire to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s independence: Freedom at 250.
Coinciding with YAF’s life-changing student conferences in 2026, a series of Freedom at 250 rallies will take place in Nashville, Tennessee, Santa Barbara, California, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, throughout 2026.
This year-long, nationwide tour of programs and activities will bring The Daily Wire’s juggernaut media brand, legendary mainstay talent, and rising stars together with YAF’s six decades of experience shaping America’s future by winning over America’s youth with freedom’s principles and equipping generations of freedom fighters to rise to positions of influence in media, entertainment, government, law, education, and the private sector.
Student registration for the first two programs + Freedom at 250 rallies in Nashville and at the Reagan Ranch — is now open at YAF250.com.
These marquee events are just the first pieces of Freedom at 250, with additional events, special guests, and opportunities to get involved rolling out in the new year.
From our founders’ revolutionary bid for independence based on the belief that all people are created equal with their rights coming from God rather than a government and surviving a civil war to make the U.S. a more perfect union to liberating Europe from tyranny and defeating the Soviet’s “Evil Empire,” the freedom fought for, defended, and passed on by those before us has sustained and guided our country for two and a half centuries.
Now, our continued defense of that freedom requires action.
Freedom at 250 builds on YAF and The Daily Wire’s years-long collaboration to bring bold voices to students nationwide at YAF’s student conferences and narrative-disrupting campus lectures which will also continue as part of Freedom at 250.
