Thinking a lot about democracy, pluralism, governance, and the future. Trying to see around the corner and then actually make it around the corner.

To fortify us in 2025 and beyond, I'm sharing some reasons for hope. Many are examples of dynamic ways to practice democracy better and to think about how we design systems and use resources for the common good. I've listed a number of my favorite governance innovations from the US and farther afield, inspiring practitioners, thinkers, organizations and networks to watch and join, and media feeds to help you lose yourself in rabbit holes of possibility. Please check them all out and make sure not to give in to despair. Collectively, we still have power to make the world better and that we must do. https://lnkd.in/e_DEpQUb #betterfutures #betterfuturesproject #democracy #governance #innovation #strategicforesight #futuregenerations #civicassemblies #participatorybudgeting #democracyvouchers #futuredesign #wellbeingeconomies #UNSummitoftheFuture Aditi Juneja Cat Zuzarte Tully Gideon Lichfield Robert Ricigliano Julia Roig Amanda Janoo Jayne Engle Democracy 2076 Wellbeing Economy Alliance - WEAll Futurific Future Caucus Layla Zaidane Dark Matter Labs Our Children's Trust Next Generation Foresight Practitioners School of International Futures (SOIF) Ari Wallach A Brief History of the Future Wendy Feliz Liz Ruedy Tom Glaisyer Marjan Horst Ehsassi Rahmin Sarabi Claudia Chwalisz Philip Lindsay Shari Davis Rahel Mekdim Teka Participatory Budgeting Project Sophie Howe Next City Reasons to be Cheerful The Progress Network Mike Berkowitz Emily Thielmann Maya Ingram Hollie Russon Gilman, Ph.D. Hillary Hooke Lisa Kay Solomon Jessica Clark Cynthia Selin
