Foresight doesn’t require a crystal ball, just the discipline to look beyond today’s urgencies while still responding to them.
This is how organizations transition from a state of constant reaction to one of intentional action. Join us in February! www.unitededge.net/strategic-fo...

Social Justice Foresight helps us anticipate change, question dominant assumptions, and design futures rooted in equity, care, and collective responsibility. This is not about predicting what will happen but about strengthening our capacity to shape just futures. www.unitededge.net/strategic-fo...

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Twenty years of the BDS movement is a reminder that real change rarely comes from power alone. It comes from people acting together, persistently and ethically. Omar Barghouti reflects on how collective action, solidarity, and grassroots pressure can shift what once seemed immovable. bit.ly/4p0gpTD
