Possibility for the people.
Rugged Interdependence is about the potential of America. We need to acknowledge and learn from our history, amazing and atrocious, with the intent of seeing future possibility.
The Grand Experiment has come a long way, but still has a long way to go. Rugged Interdependence is built on three guiding values and focuses on local outcomes and actions that create groundswell change at regional, state, and national levels.
Achieve tempered progress towards dignity & well-being for all
Create systems of cooperation and remove systems of domination
Be accountable for generational appreciation & stewardship
These values are short phrases dense with meaning and nuance. They may help align people and give a general shape to action, but they will need a community to explore, evaluate, and apply in a local context.
