Phoebe shares thoughts on “how we can find the learning tools that will bridge to the future we want to envision, and how we translate those visions of the future into values.”

The final chapters to this accessible and provocative animation series are now up, rounding off its effort to understand the roots of our current crises and map the road ahead.

The conservative/alt-right media outlet has raised $100m and is launching 'DW Kids' to create “content families can trust”. Their message: “enough with the complaining. It’s time for conservatives to create, invent and build the world we want to see. How? By partnering with those who love America as much as we do...Americans have been waiting for these alternatives.”

"The WEF’s vision certainly doesn’t look like the world ordinary people would hope for. Rather it is a vision of an economy separated from the Earth, managed by algorithms and fed by information from myriad surveillance devices."

An urgent call for progressives to overcome “paralysis” and “start telling a story of our own” that can counter the infectious (and extremist) anti-woke narrative. The Race Class Narrative offers a route forward.

A new “library of shared resources and a space for effective collaboration. By improving information sharing across the climate movement, we aim to improve coordination, capacity building, and campaign development in a way that helps us all.”

“Research shows that the closer we get to nature, the happier we are, the more worthwhile life seems, and the more we are willing to take action to help our wildlife and the environment. In the context of the problems our climate and wildlife are facing, closer relationships with nature are more necessary than ever before.”

“A philanthropic fund and learning community working to transform the narrative landscape in America around people of color, immigrants, refugees, Muslims, and Indigenous peoples—especially those who are women, queer, trans, nonbinary, and/or disabled—by bolstering the infrastructure and impact of the pop culture for social change field”

Smart narrative infrastructure aimed at “a profound shift and sustained action”, which has been building momentum in the past year or so and is seeking more funding ahead of a full launch next year.
