Join RUBI on July 8 for a powerful conversation with Rich Logis, CEO and founder of Leaving MAGA, an organization dedicated to providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for anyone who has stepped away from the MAGA movement or is considering doing so.

Rich brings a deeply personal perspective to this briefing. For years, he was a committed MAGA activist: volunteering, campaigning, and writing in support of the movement. But beginning in 2022, a series of events shook his convictions. The handling of COVID-19, the response to January 6, and ultimately the tragedy in Uvalde became incidents he could not defend, no matter how deeply committed he was to the MAGA community. By August 2022, he made the difficult decision to leave the movement he once believed in wholeheartedly.

Rich describes that departure as an internal struggle tied to identity, belonging, and community. Today, his work focuses on helping others who are questioning where they stand, and on teaching how to reach people across political divides without writing them off. He believes the American people are frustrated, the system is rigged, and Democrats and the left have an opportunity to bring those frustrated by the status quo into the fold through empathy, understanding, and keeping the door open for those who may be ready to rethink their path.

Join us as Rich shares his personal journey in and out of the MAGA movement, what he's learned about belief and belonging, and how to bring people together rather than push them further apart.

Please note we are holding this briefing on the SECOND Wednesday of July to account for the July 4 holiday week.
