The Five Pillars of Regeneration

Our movement stands on five foundational principles that will transform America from extraction to regeneration, from division to unity, from scarcity to abundance. These aren't abstract ideals—they're proven solutions already working in communities across the country.

The Five Pillars: Economic Justice, Ecological Regeneration, Democratic Governance, Community Wealth, Systems Transformation

1. Economic Justice

Transform our economy through democratic ownership models that build community wealth instead of extracting it. Worker cooperatives prove that businesses can be both profitable and equitable.

  • 751+ worker cooperatives already operating across America
  • Democratic workplace ownership with profit sharing
  • Higher wages and better benefits than traditional businesses
  • Wealth stays in communities instead of flowing to distant shareholders
  • Proven to be more resilient during economic downturns

2. Ecological Regeneration

The Green New Deal isn't just environmental policy—it's the largest job creation program in American history. Transition to 100% renewable energy while creating millions of good-paying jobs and restoring our ecosystems.

  • $12.7B regenerative agriculture market already growing
  • Millions of green jobs in solar, wind, and ecosystem restoration
  • 100% renewable energy by 2035 is achievable
  • Restore wetlands, forests, and degraded ecosystems
  • Clean air and water as fundamental rights

3. Community Wealth

Community Land Trusts ensure that housing remains permanently affordable by removing land from speculative markets. This isn't charity—it's a smarter economic model that builds stable, thriving communities.

  • 300+ community land trusts creating affordable housing
  • Permanently affordable—not just for one generation
  • Prevents gentrification and displacement
  • Community-controlled development decisions
  • Builds intergenerational wealth for working families

4. Democratic Governance

Transform our political system to actually represent the people. End gerrymandering, implement ranked-choice voting, overturn Citizens United, and make voting accessible to all Americans.

  • Automatic voter registration for all eligible citizens
  • Ranked-choice voting to end two-party monopoly
  • Independent redistricting commissions to end gerrymandering
  • Overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics
  • Proportional representation to ensure every voice counts

5. Systems Transformation

We're not trapped by scarcity—we're limited only by outdated thinking. Modern Monetary Theory reveals that the federal government, as the issuer of its own currency, can mobilize our full national capacity to solve our biggest challenges.

  • Federal job guarantee ensuring dignified work for all
  • Universal healthcare as a human right
  • Free public college and trade schools
  • Childcare and eldercare as public goods
  • Infrastructure investment to rebuild America
