Looking at the world through a problem-solving lens, we connect the dots between the past and the present and monitor the progress we're making to our future. The American Leader helps the public be more informed decision makers, clarifying how systemic problems shape our lives and spotlighting who is doing what to solve them. We sift through the high volume and diffusion of information and cut through distractions, distortions, and deceptions to connect the dots around problems such as climate change, access to healthcare, and the national debt. Years of failing to fix these problems – and a media narrative that has offered few solutions, no accountability, and little hope – have eroded the public’s faith in our democratic institutions. We think it’s time to fix that. By spotlighting the ideas, knowledge, and aspirations needed for our communities to thrive, we can neutralize partisanship and build a stronger democracy.
