Federal

The Giving America Fund

A sovereign wealth fund that ties America's $75 trillion economic engine to the prosperity of ordinary Americans. It answers the question every other proposal will be asked: how do we pay for it?

$610B/yr to social programs, from an endowment the public owns

Federal

G-Corps

A new business model — a more economically and socially effective alternative to 501(c)(3) nonprofits and B-Corps — which enhances worker rights and supports the Giving America Fund.

32M workers who own a share of where they work

Individual

The Great Boycott

A simple and radical boycott – buy from people, not machines.

$14B/yr of spending redirected from machines to people

City

Participatory Budgeting

Letting the people choose where their tax dollars go.

202M residents with a direct vote on local spending

All

Tax Report Cards

An itemized, personal report from every government that taxes you — and a way to answer back.

285M taxpayers shown where their money went

City

3D Cities

In modern suburbia, isolation is the default. The 3D city is the new American dream — where home, work, and community live together in a close-knit, walkable space.

Individual

Invite Your Friends to Things

We don’t really know we’re friends until we’re invited. Don’t just blast out bulk invites — ask people to come.
