VISION

OUR PROPOSED VISION STATEMENT

JUST ELDERS VISION

Just Elders envisions a future in which a new social contract will take firm hold across the United States and will be embraced and advanced by people of faith and good will. That social contract will value solidarity over competition, communities over capital, and public goods over private ones. It will recognize the extraordinary capacities that ordinary people have when they wake up to their power to contribute to collective deliberation and action for the common good. It will awaken a new and powerful culture of true democracy that lives not only during election cycles, but on a continual basis. And, ultimately, it will bring us closer to realizing Dr. King’s vision of Beloved Community.
