The Artist in Public Life: Sophia Bush | Activism, Artistry, and the Courage to Speak Up
Join the Institute of Politics for a conversation with actress, activist, and entrepreneur Sophia Bush, whose career spans celebrated roles on One Tree Hill and Chicago P.D. as well as a decade of influential social advocacy. Beyond Hollywood, Bush is a passionate leader on issues ranging from women’s empowerment and civic engagement to environmental justice and LGBTQ+ visibility.
As a co-founder of the nonpartisan “I am a voter®” initiative, host of the Work in Progress podcast, and a general partner in a women-owned venture firm, she brings a multifaceted perspective on using one’s voice—and platform—for impact. Join us as Bush reflects on storytelling, authenticity, and driving change in a rapidly evolving world.
