Mission for America: A New Blueprint for Prosperity and the Planet
The Mission for America is an audacious 10-year blueprint to tackle the twin crises of our time - economic decline and climate collapse - with the same urgency and coordination that defined past eras of American transformation. Developed by Saikat Chakrabarti and Zack Exley, the political strategists behind the Green New Deal, it outlines how a bold federal government could rebuild America’s industrial base, create millions of good jobs, and lead the world’s clean energy transition.
