Each word or idea is a touchstone that connects to how a reimagined democracy can revitalize a nation and its people. Our first idea in the series is “A good life.” We offer these words as suggestions to explore what is possible in our collective aspirations to live a good life.

💰Let's close the water affordability gap: A new @EPA report says the U.S. needs $8.8 billion a year to make water bills affordable for struggling families. This is a solvable problem if we support bills like the H2O UP Act & AQUA Act! #SafeAffordableWater

50 years ago, Congress took historic action to protect public health and improve the quality of drinking water across America. Half a century later, that lofty but vital commitment continues with the introduction of our AQUA Act.  tonko.house.gov/news/documen…

Repairing Roots is more than a tribute to historic Black towns– it’s a call for reparative spatial justice. By exposing systemic harms, this lays a foundation for healing & repairing, creating inclusive communities where justice & belonging are centered. plcylk.org/repairing-roots
Text on the side reads REPAIRING ROOTS: Historic Black Towns and Spatial Reclamation. Tina Grandinetti, Jasmine Rangel, Rasheedah Phillips. At the bottom there are Spatial Futures and PolicyLink logos. On the right, there is an image of a Black woman with an updo sitting on a stylized image of a tree stump with visible roots. She's reaching for a stylized moon with what appears to be a map in it.
