🗓️ Mark your calendars! Thursday, July 25, join us for a webinar discussing the question: what is the progressive vision of what it means to live a #GoodLife? The event will build on our report released earlier this year exploring neoliberalism as a cultural project that's lead to isolation, shame, and despair, as well as our recent follow-up essay series in The American Prospect, "Imagining the Good Life." 💡 Our keynote address and panel discussion will share various perspectives on critical components of a progressive vision of the good life, the role of culture, policy, and politics, and the strategies we need to get us there. Register today! ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eK5q9MNh

About us
The Roosevelt Institute, a New York-based think tank, promotes bold policy reforms that would redefine the American economy and our democracy. With a focus on curbing corporate power and reclaiming public power, Roosevelt is helping people understand that the economy is shaped by choices—via institutions and the rules that structure markets—while also exploring the economics of race and gender and the changing 21st-century economy. Roosevelt is armed with a transformative vision for the future, working to move the country toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all. We bring together thousands of thinkers and doers—from a new generation of leaders in every state to Nobel laureate economists working to redefine the rules that guide our social and economic realities. We rethink and reshape everything from local policy to federal legislation, orienting toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all.

Motivated by shareholder primacy, utility monopolies are blocking solar projects & hiking prices—They're undermining a just transition. John Farrell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, explains that for public clean energy investments to succeed, we must restructure the electricity sector. "Independent distribution and transmission—supported by vigorous antitrust oversight—will prevent monopoly gatekeeping even as it supports competitive innovation to deliver clean, affordable power to all," he writes. TLDR: We must break up the utility monopoly. https://lnkd.in/gzNc-Q-f

30,000 disabled workers die annually waiting for benefits, largely due to admin backlog. AI may be able to help. Roosevelt Think Tank Director Hannah Groch-Begley will join the National Academy of Social Insurance's new Task Force on AI, Emerging Technology, and Disability Benefits. "This task force is focused on the benefits and risks of AI systems, and works with reps from the Social Security Administration to tailor our recommendations in ways that are useful for them and prioritize people with disabilities. It may be the most important thing I end up working on," Hannah reflects. https://lnkd.in/gp8_NjVv

Authoritarians sow fear, blaming 'others' for our struggles. Neoliberals say 'work hard, it'll pay off.' 💡 It’s time for progressives to tell a compelling story of our own. National director of the Working Families Party Maurice Mitchell encourages us to turn to one another—to shape that story together: https://lnkd.in/gGgZG5Gr

Recently, columnist Matthew Yglesias argued that using workforce rhetoric to support #childcare policy no longer holds water for a variety of reasons, but Elliot Haspel thinks there's a larger framing issue when we talk about child care as a commercial good versus a national value.
