Imagine America when today’s chil­dren are rais­ing chil­dren of their own. What kind of coun­try will Amer­ica be? What we believe, how we think and what we do now – or don’t do — will have significant long range consequences. We must engage in broad dialogue about the contrasting worldviews that led to this crisis and determine as a people what is the wise and right thing to do. We must move for­ward with a revitalized democ­racy grounded in pro­gres­sive val­ues instead of fur­ther regres­sion dri­ven by right wing extremism wrongly labeled as conservatism.

An Open Let­ter to America from the website editor, Phyllis Stenerson

A Frame­work for Imag­in­ing Amer­ica - an overview of the project’s format

A Frame­work for Dia­logue and Action — topics with links to arti­cles that pro­vide an insight into major fac­tors inform­ing and influ­enc­ing citizens.

Dif­fer­ent world­views - Dif­fer­ent futures - imag­ine how the future will be dif­fer­ent depend­ing upon which world­view prevails

Pro­gres­sive val­ues are America’s authen­tic val­ues reflect­ing the past,
under­stand­ing the present and antic­i­pat­ing the future.

Pro­gres­sives aren’t mov­ing to the left or the right. We’re mov­ing forward.

Note to reader — This is an insight into one person’s world­view — the edi­tor, Phyl­lis Stenerson. whose dri­ving force is “What will the world be like for our grand­chil­dren?” There is always more to the story. Learn more, dis­cuss with oth­ers, think for your­self, speak out, act.
