SHELTER ISLAND, NY, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Free & Equal Elections Foundation and The Family Office Summit launch United We Stand Tour with a gathering at the historic Ram’s Head Inn, headlined by Texit Coin and Joe From Texas, featuring Russell Brand, Sheriff Richard Mack, Michael Terpin, Patrick Byrne, Dr. Raj of United Doctors of America, Brad Hilton of Hilton Hotels, and Christina Tobin, with Major Ed Pulido as Master of Ceremonies.

The United We Stand Shelter Island Conference will convene August 26–28, 2026, at the Ram’s Head Inn on Shelter Island, New York, bringing together vetted guests, business leaders, family offices, philanthropists, investors, and civic innovators for a roundtable on sovereignty in the age of technology. The event marks the launch of the 2026 United We Stand Tour, a nationwide initiative engaging the next generation in civics through music, arts, and education under the banner More Voices. More Choices. The conference is led by Free & Equal Elections Foundation founder and chair Christina Tobin and produced by The Family Office Summit, with Texit Coin and Joe From Texas as headline sponsors. Major Ed Pulido, U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient, serves as Master of Ceremonies and will deliver remarks on empowering veterans.

United We Stand is partnered with The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity, and Dr. Ron Paul will deliver the opening remarks via pre-recorded video.

The centerpiece is The Island Roundtable, an open discussion staged over two evenings in the 1947 tradition. Joe Penland Sr., known nationally as Joe From Texas, leads Wednesday’s table and delivers Thursday’s keynote address; Russell Brand leads Thursday’s table and keynotes the day’s podcast breakout sessions, where speakers cross-pollinate on one another’s shows. Also at the table: Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, BitAngels founder Michael Terpin, Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne, and Christina Tobin.

Thursday’s program adds a Health & Wellness Panel moderated by Cygalle Dias with Brad Hilton, Dr. Raj Kumar of United Doctors of America, and Marius Morariu of Tracie Martyn Beauty & Wellness; an Empowering Women Through Philanthropy panel with Christina Tobin, Joyce Chow of Transform Capital, and Jody Weiss of the Women’s Funding Council; a fireside chat with digital-health pioneer Sumit Kumar Nagpal; and Patrick Byrne’s address, “My Greatest Entrepreneurial Success: Disrupting the Deep State.” Zach Bush, MD, joins by live stream on whole-body health and the biological renaissance; the Honorable David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General, appears by pre-recorded video for his Saving Social Security & America Tour; and Joby Weeks of Liberty Capital Partners appears by live stream. A Hamptons sunset yacht excursion and a Friday farewell brunch close the weekend.

Musical guest Scott Page, saxophonist for Pink Floyd, will also appear, with DJ Bryan Griffin on the decks.

Discussion topics will span national security, health, digital assets, election integrity, decentralized technology, foreign interests, nuclear energy, war and paths to world peace, Social Security, veterans’ issues, and the national debt, in a nonpartisan format designed to foster dialogue across political lines.

The Ram’s Head Inn was the site of the landmark 1947 Shelter Island Conference, where physicists including J. Robert Oppenheimer, Richard Feynman, and Hans Bethe laid foundational work in quantum mechanics. Organizers say the 2026 conference continues that legacy at the same waterfront location.

The conference is presented in partnership with Aandrea Carter, owner and steward of the historic Ram’s Head Inn; Rolise Rachel, founder of The Family Office Summit; Jonathan Barry, founder of The Family Office Forum; Richie Hosein, founder and CEO of FreeHealth.ai; and Cygalle Dias, founder of Cygalle Dias Lifestyle Marketing.
