Topics We Explore
Our collaborative reform agenda will include chapters written by contributors across a wide range of issues. Each topic represents an opportunity for everyday people to re-imagine American democracy, rights, and governance for a stronger future. Below are our core topic areas and we always welcome additional suggestions from contributors.
Democracy & Representation
Civil & Human Rights
Education
Modern Governance
Environment & Public Health
Economic Justice
These topics serve as broad umbrellas and each one can contain dozens of potential chapters. The examples provided below are meant to help you brainstorm, not narrow your choices. After you choose a broad topic, you are free to shape your chapter however you like – an historical overview with practical next steps, a deep dive into one very specific piece of legislation, a visionary strategy plan for community leaders to get behind – follow your interest, your experience, and your voice.
