Our Manifesto

Take it all in for a moment:

The skylines and strip malls.

Crosswalks and rail crossings.

Balconies, buildings, and boroughs.

These are the places we have in common.

Will we leave them better than we found them?

We can, if we build them better:

More sustainable.

More affordable.

More accessible.

More inclusive.

It’s in our common interest.

On our common ground.

For the common good.

These are the places we share.

Let’s shape them together.
