GET IN THE ROOM: Peter Ticktin, Juan O’Savin, Mel K, Joe Hoft, MC Treniss Evans, and More Head to the Awakening Summit

Clearwater Beach, Florida | October 16–18, 2026

The Awakening Summit is being built to be something different.
From October 16–18 in Clearwater Beach, Florida, an unusual collection of journalists, attorneys, investigators, commentators, activists, and ordinary Americans will come together under one roof. This is not another sit-in-the-chair-and-listen event. This is a We The People event!
Among the featured voices are Attorney Peter Ticktin, Juan O’Savin, Mel K, Joe Hoft, Sheila Holm, and others, with Treniss Evans serving as emcee.
MEL K JOINS THE CONVERSATION
The addition of Mel K strengthens that concept considerably.  Mel K has built a substantial independent-media audience by conducting long-form conversations about politics, government, history, global institutions and issues she believes the traditional press either ignores or inadequately investigates.
JUAN O’SAVIN
Few figures in the independent political-information world generate as much discussion as Juan O’Savin.  People have followed his commentary, debated his conclusions and shared his appearances across alternative-media platforms for years.  Whether attendees agree with every conclusion is almost beside the point. The Awakening Summit is supposed to be a place where difficult questions can actually be asked. And where the people asking them are sitting in the room.
PETER TICKTIN: TAKING THE FIGHT INTO THE COURTS
Attorney Peter Ticktin brings another dimension entirely.  Ticktin and the team at The Ticktin Law Group have confronted major constitutional and political controversies through the one institution where rhetoric eventually has to confront rules of evidence, procedure, and law: the courtroom.
That distinction matters. America is overflowing with political commentary. But eventually, someone must file the complaint. Someone must write the motion. Someone must challenge the government. Someone must put evidence into a record. And someone must stand before a judge and make the argument. The legal battles being fought across America are no longer peripheral to the political debate.  They are increasingly where the political debate is being decided.
JOE HOFT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
Gateway Pundit and JoeHoft.com heavyweight Joe Hoft represents another critical part of that equation.  Information means very little if nobody is willing to share and publish it. For years, Americans have watched the relationship between government, major institutions, and the traditional press come under increasing scrutiny.  Stories dismissed as conspiracy theories sometimes became legitimate subjects of congressional hearings, litigation, or government investigations months or years later.  Independent journalism, therefore, has a greater responsibility than simply generating another headline.
TRENISS EVANS TO SERVE AS MC
Serving as emcee will be Treniss Evans, Host of The Case for America on Real America’s Voice, documentary filmmaker, and author, as well as the founder of Condemned USA.  Evans’s work following January 6 evolved from advocacy for defendants and their families into a broader fight over constitutional rights, government power, due process, and what he describes as lawfare.
Through Condemned USA, Evans became involved in legal advocacy surrounding January 6 defendants and constitutional litigation, including filing an amicus brief in Trump v. Anderson, the Supreme Court case that rejected Colorado’s effort to remove President Donald Trump from its presidential ballot. Condemned USA under Evans’ leadership has filed numerous amicus briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and fought tirelessly for conservative causes.
MANY MORE AMAZING SPEAKERS WILL PRESENT, AND THEN THERE IS THE AUDIENCE
BRING YOUR QUESTIONS. BRING YOUR STORY. BRING YOUR EVIDENCE.
Americans have spent years watching stories emerge involving government misconduct, censorship, election controversies, political prosecutions, January 6, whistleblowers, questionable judicial conduct and the expanding power of institutions that were supposedly created to serve the people.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SUMMIT
The Awakening Summit began with the vision and commitment of one patriot – Donna M. Ferrara, whose concept and financial support made the gathering possible.
Turning that vision into an event required enormous behind-the-scenes work, including the tireless organizational efforts of Gina and Doug Frystak.
That work matters because movements are not built only by the people standing behind microphones.
They are built by the people willing to create the room in the first place.
