Real abundance means uplifting everyday Americans—not concentrating wealth and power at the top.

Kate Andrias & @awhf.bsky.social explore why we must create paths for workers to influence policymaking and benefit from abundance projects in #FiresideStacks: www.firesidestacks.com/p/abundance-...

Quote graphic that reads: But in order to be effective, abundance policy must benefit and build power for working- and middle-class Americans rather than enriching and empowering concentrated economic interests and generating a populist backlash that undermines democracy.
