a new new deal

June 27, 2024, marks the 90th anniversary of the signing of the National Housing Act of 1934 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On this date, we gather in the first of an ongoing series of symposiums to boldly reimagine a new, New Deal.

Just as President FDR marshaled a diverse coalition of leaders to tackle the Great Depression, this series of symposiums serves to cultivate a network of individuals committed to leveraging resources, engaging people and communities, advocating for policy reforms, and driving the necessary actions for systemic change. Integral to this vision is the concept of "A New New Deal.” Join us as we encompass and unpack several key themes and topics, including:

• Reparative Democracy

• Collective Agency

• Decentralized Land Acquisition, Use, and Tenure 

• Shared Equity Models

• Impact Finance

• Renewable Building Materials and Technology 

• Infrastructure Equity

• Shared Value Social Enterprise

• Economic Stimulus and Job Creation

• Educational Reform and Access

• Healthcare and Social Services

• Environmental Sustainability

• Criminal Justice Reform

• Civic Engagement and Political Reform
