The #6 Series
Reconciliation in Action.
In 1995, at the Rugby World Cup final, Nelson Mandela walked onto the field wearing the Springbok No. 6 jersey — the symbol of the very community that had excluded him. He didn’t ask a divided nation to meet him halfway. He entered their trusted space first, and a nation followed.For the #6 Series, veterans are our No. 6 jersey.
Gen Z attends live music at higher rates than any generation — and remains among the least civically engaged. The concert meets them where they already are.
A for-profit civic data platform. Nonpartisan discussion, integrated into stadium concerts — activated through local community engagement and anchored by veterans.
Each market runs a full activation cycle every other year, converging at a flagship stadium concert. On alternating years, a national activation in Washington, DC consolidates cross-market participation into a single national convergence, beginning 2028 — a national moment of veteran and civic recognition, with entertainment in service of that identity, not the reverse.
Collection alternates between state and federal civic seasons — longitudinal coverage across varying civic contexts that static datasets cannot replicate.
