Fanning the Flame

Unfettered corporate campaign contributions.  Banks deemed too big to fail.  Refusing to pay a living wage.  Cutting off food aid to those in need.  Undermining workers’ right to organize. Privatizing the public domain.  Insults like these may be why we’re seeing a surge of interest in the New Deal— a time when America invested in itself and ordinary working people.

More than a quarter million visitors came to the Living New Deal’s website over the past year to learn about the forgotten landscape Americans built during hard times and the public-spirited leadership that inspired it. Recent news about our work is further fanning the flame.

Please join us this summer for New Deal talks and tours. Send your stories and photos to our website. Help spread the word—It’s time for a new New Deal!

Your generosity keeps us going.  We welcome tax-deductible donations to The Living New Deal.

Susan Ives is communications director for the Living New Deal and editor of the Living New Deal newsletter.
