Working to deliver American prosperity from the ground up

There are local leaders in every American place that know what outcomes their communities need

Abundant America works with local elected leaders and civic organizations to build an abundant America from the ground up. We believe there are local leaders in every American place who know what outcomes their communities need most. We work with those leaders to map opportunities to deliver tangible local outcomes into a Plan for Local Abundance.

What We Believe

For our families, our neighbors, our future

We believe America's potential depends on:

Economic Abundance:

Affordability, technology and growth to win the future

Build more of what people need

Regulatory and zoning reform to unlock housing, energy, healthcare, and infrastructure, so America can produce at scale and prices fall through real supply.

Foster innovation, technology, healthy competition

Make it easier to start and grow businesses, and enforce antitrust so gatekeepers can't manufacture scarcity or block prosperity through predatory tactics.

Civic Abundance:

Spend more of our public money at the local level

Local self-government that people can feel and trust

Participatory budgeting, decentralized programs, civic engagement pathways, and standing citizen assemblies/town halls to set priorities, deliberate tradeoffs, and legitimize public action.

Limited but effective government

Push resources, authority, and capacity down to states, counties, and towns so decisions match the scale of life. Maintain a short list of essential federal priorities—and execute them well.

Social Abundance:

Strong communities, strong families, rooted in place

Strong communities as the foundation of human flourishing

Lower cost, more productive opportunity so people have a stable foundation for families and associations—not just survival in isolation.

Build meaningful relationships

Invest in public commons, service pathways, and “third places,” strengthen the associations that cultivate connection—schools, unions/guilds, faith congregations, service corps, neighborhood groups.

An Abundant America starts with local leadership

We work with elected leaders to make abundance practical and tangible in every community in America.

Learn from local leaders

1/ Contribute your best ideas for needed outcomes in your community

We convene state legislators, mayors, and civic leaders to answer one question: “What are the bipartisan priorities you couldn't get funded due to scarcity politics?”

Plan for local abundance

2/ Work together to draft a Plan for Local Abundance

We map these widely agreed upon priorities and projects across the 3-As framework of economic, civic and social abundance — creating a list of unfunded, high-impact local outcomes (e.g., a community pool, a local clinic, neighborhood speed bumps, a new community athletic facility).

Send that money home

3/ Educate your state's Federal delegation on the Plan for Local Abundance

We package these findings into a Plan for Local Abundance and present it to the state's Federal Delegation. We educate them on how specific federal mechanisms (like block grants) could fund these pre-vetted, bipartisan wins.
