We built The Progress Network to lift up readers like you. We don’t do it by pretending that things are better than they are, but by paying attention to progress just as much as problems. This outlook has real, positive effects. My favorite part about running this organization is hearing from readers and listeners who have felt the difference. One, John, wrote to us:
I was absolutely drowning in despair over the state of the world and our future when I started looking for some positive news, really out of desperation for my mental health.
Now I realize how many people in my generation and younger are falling into doomerism and hopelessness at a time when we need hope. Not just hope for the sake of feeling good, but because it drives people to both demand and be agents of change.
This is just one example of the many people we hear from who have turned from giving up to tuning in. An engaged citizenry is a citizenry that can make things happen.
Please consider donating to The Progress Network today to spread this sense of agency far and wide—the future of our dreams is possible, if we believe in it first.
