What’s happening at @PolicyLink is more than a shift in strategy; it’s a shift in mindset.
A Dr. Michael McAfee’s Post
We’re moving beyond viewing our work as a collection of projects or grant deliverables. Instead, we’re taking the time to organize and align ourselves around the ultimate goal of equity: a just and fair inclusion into a society where ALL can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.
To get there, we must prepare ourselves and our work for the long journey ahead, one that demands changing the very nature and logic of governance so it recognizes and honors everyone’s humanity. This is what we mean when we talk about our nation-building agenda. It requires reimagining legal and regulatory frameworks, governing institutions, and public consciousness so that none of them are hostile toward anyone’s humanity. We must work toward a future where these systems are designed and resourced to truly see and serve everyone, and produce outcomes that prove it. It’s possible. Imagine this:
✔️ Legal and regulatory systems that shape our democracy and economy toward the thriving of all.
✔️ Federal agencies, the engines of public policy and implementation, designed to deliver results for everyone.
✔️ State and local governments showing what it looks like to provide the full benefits of citizenship in the cities and states where we live, for all.
✔️ We the People, holding a collective consciousness and taking action toward a nation that serves all.
✔️ Institutional leaders, decision makers, and capital allocators, those with disproportionate influence over governance, are working together for our collective flourishing.
Democracy is a living organism. At PolicyLink, we’re answering the call to be founders and architects of what comes next. In doing so, we commit to perfecting democracy for everyone, not just those who look like us. This is a moment of redesign and reimaging for ourselves and for the nation. Join us in making this promise a reality.
