Project Tricentennial: An initiative of the Truman National Security Project

What is Project Tricentennial?

A bold, values-driven plan to rebuild American civic life, economic prosperity, and global leadership from the ground up.

OUR APPROACH

Why Project Tricentennial is Different

Strategy First, Policy Second
Unlike most efforts that start with policies, we begin with a clear strategic vision grounded in foundational values, ensuring every policy flows logically from what we aim to achieve.
A 50-Year Moonshot
The 2076 milestone provides a unifying, deeply American narrative, a national “moonshot” that rises above partisan swings and election cycles, focusing us on a long-term shared purpose.
Comprehensive and Cohesive Framework
We address trust, equity, cohesion, innovation, strategic competition, and well-being, showing how these pillars interconnect and enable one another. At its core: domestic renewal powers international leadership, while principled leadership abroad secures us at home.
Built for Flexibility and Unity
Designed to evolve through public engagement and course correction over decades, because enduring strategies must adapt to real-world challenges.
OUR VISION

America at 300:
Our Vision for 2076

We believe America’s 300th birthday in 2076 should not be a funeral for a failed experiment, but a celebration of a renewed one.

Imagine it’s 2036.
Americans head to the polls with confidence, knowing that elections are free, fair, and that power will transfer peacefully. The cost of living is no longer a daily crisis; families can afford housing, healthcare, and groceries without fear.
By 2050, the nation is thriving at home and strong abroad. Our economy is inclusive and innovative. Our democracy is resilient. And America, grounded in its values, can outcompete any authoritarian rival, not just with force, but with example.
And in 2076, as she turns 300, the American people don’t just mark a milestone; they celebrate a fulfilled promise: a democracy that works, prosperity that’s shared, a nation united by purpose.
