Roosevelt Forward
- Present 5 years 9 months
Economic Empowerment
At Roosevelt Forward, we argue that the future of the American economy and our democracy depend on a new way of thinking about markets and a new way of thinking about government. With a renewed commitment to transforming corporations, restructuring markets, reviving democratic institutions, and reimagining the role of government, we can restructure our economy to make both the private and public sectors better serve more Americans. Ultimately, we believe that new politics and policymaking—that…

More in Common
- Present 5 years 3 months
Politics
More in Common’s mission is to build a more united and inclusive America that is resilient to the profound threats posed by our country’s polarization. Nine in every ten Americans say that their country has never felt so divided, and that they feel exhausted by this polarization. Yet more than three quarters also believe that our differences are not so great that we cannot come together as Americans. We are working towards that goal. We believe that a unifying story of ‘us’ is more powerful…

Yet more than three quarters also believe that our differences are not so great that we cannot come together as Americans. We are working towards that goal. We believe that a unifying story of ‘us’ is more powerful than ‘us-versus-them’ narratives that divides us as Americans from each other.

Making America a welcome place for everyone, from long-established citizens to immigrants who have just arrived.This compelling approach to the immigration debate takes the reader behind the blaring headlines and into communities grappling with the reality of new immigrants and the changing nature of American identity. Ali Noorani, the Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, interviews nearly fifty local and national leaders from law enforcement, business, immigrant, and faith communities to illustrate the challenges and opportunities they face. From high school principals to church pastors to sheriffs, the author reveals that most people are working to advance society's interests, not exploiting a crisis at the expense of one community. As he shows, some cities and regions have reached a happy conclusion, while others struggle to find balance. Whether describing a pastor preaching to the need to welcome the stranger, a sheriff engaging the Muslim community, or a farmer's wind-whipped face moistened by tears as he tells the story of his farmworkers being deported, the author helps readers to realize that America's immigration debate isn't about policy; it is about the culture and values that make America what it is. The people on the front lines of America's cultural and demographic debate are Southern Baptist pastors in South Carolina, attorneys general in Utah or Indiana, Texas businessmen, and many more. Their combined voices make clear that all of them are working to make America a welcome place for everyone, long-established citizens and new arrivals alike.Especially now, when we feel our identity, culture, and values changing shape, the collective message from all the diverse voices in this inspiring book is one of hope for the future.

Check out these testimonials from recent #Antiracist #Results-Based Accountability (AR #RBA) workshop participants (below) and join us in July-August 2024! https://bit.ly/AR-RBA-2024 "This unlocked a new level for me. It made what had previously not seemed actionable, actionable. It helped me connect in concrete ways how the ways that we show up inside our organization are related to how we show up outside in the world." "This series was powerful & had a profound impact on me. It brought me to a place of vulnerability different from other trainings I've done. There was tremendous safety & I was pushed beyond my comfort zone to face grief I feel about white supremacy, racism & areas of complicity." "I'm trying to recall if I was ever so equally impacted by vibe and content. This made me feel excitement about the connections and feelings of hope that *this can work*!" "The skill-building in this workshop was so valuable, but even better to build these skills in community! I can feel the sustainability and solidarity of our cohort."
