Moving From Harmful Economy to One That Helps Everyone
The Center for Story-based Strategy teaches about 'Just Transition' - a way to change our economy from one that hurts people and the planet to one that helps everyone thrive. For hundreds of years, our economy has taken natural resources, used workers unfairly, and damaged communities to make profits. This has hurt our planet's ability to support life. Change is coming whether we like it or not, but we need to make sure it's fair. A Just Transition means moving to a new economy that regenerates and heals instead of taking and destroying. This new economy should let people, communities, and the planet be healthy and balanced. The people most affected by economic decisions should be the ones making those decisions. We need to challenge the harmful ways we've always done things and create new tools, organizations, and relationships that show what a better future looks like. The organization helps movements and communities learn how to create this fairer, more sustainable economy through storytelling and strategy.

MoneyHow National Debt Affects Your Money and FutureThe national debt is money the U.S. government owes to people and other countries. When this debt gets too big, it can hurt everyone's finances. It could make it harder and more expensive to get loans for homes or start businesses. By 2053, the government will spend more money just paying interest on debt than on schools, roads, and research combined. This means less money for important things that help communities grow. Young people will be especially affected - one study showed families could lose $16,000 in income by 2048. The debt also takes money away from healthcare, education, and other vital services. About one-third of the debt is owed to other countries. The Up to Us organization teaches young people about this issue and encourages them to talk to their representatives. They believe everyone should care about fiscal policy, whether you care about healthcare, education, clean energy, or defense. You can sign a pledge to show you care about America's financial future and get involved in your community.
