The coalition was here before the surge

The September 15 Washington assembly builds on an earlier advocacy platform. FLI's March4 announcement already named Steve Bannon as an endorser. That organizing history predates Coxon's September resignation.

A changed participation report

Axios updated its report on September 14 to say Coxon and the organizers confirmed he would not attend. The organizer homepage still lists him; the linked programme does not. We have corrected the earlier reported-participation edge and retained its original observation. This is a change in the reported plan, with an unresolved website mismatch, not evidence of his motive. Updated Axios account; organizer homepage; programme.

What the programme establishes

The organizer programme identifies FLI as presenter, assigns opening and closing sessions to its officers, and schedules Sanders and Bannon in adjacent afternoon slots. A later Frank McCourt session is labelled for a coalition announcement. Labor, faith, parents and creators also appear. The programme documents how the gathering is arranged; it does not tell us which commitments will be made or who paid for an appearance. Read the agenda.

What remains to be demonstrated

Shared principles and a scheduled venue provide infrastructure for coalition-building. They do not prove agreement on a particular law, joint command, speaker compensation or the origin of earlier media appearances. Attendance, recordings, sponsor disclosures and any joint legislative text are the next useful records.
