Emerging Tech Center

The Emerging Tech Center and Stand With Crypto are hosting an Arizona Day of Action for the CLARITY Act on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, in Phoenix. The CLARITY Act is the pending federal legislation that would establish clear jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC for U.S. digital assets, deliver consumer protections, and give developers, investors, and businesses the legal certainty they need to keep building in the United States.
This is a hands-on advocacy workshop. Attendees will receive a briefing on the current status of the bill, call their U.S. senators directly from the venue using prepared scripts, and capture photo and video content for social advocacy. Bring your phone.

The Emerging Tech Center and AI Film 3 are co-hosting a themed Social Saturday on September 19, 2026, in the Phoenix metro: The Power of Advocacy in Emerging Tech. This special edition of Social Saturday brings together Web3 builders, AI creators, and crypto advocates to explore how the emerging-tech community can organize, communicate, and drive real policy change.
The event remains social in format — no panels, no presentations — but the conversation focuses on the practical ways builders and creators across crypto, Web3, and AI can use their platforms and communities to advocate for the industries they are building.
