America’s Plan is being built as a network of issue hubs. This page shows the current map: which hubs are active, which issues are still taking shape, and where people can enter the work right now.
It is not a map in the geographic sense. It is a working map of the project’s issue structure: what exists, what stage each issue is in, and how the different pieces connect.
What a hub is
A hub is a stable public anchor for an issue. It is the place where people should be able to understand what the issue is, who is affected, what the current concerns are, where discussion is happening, what resources exist, and how to help.
In practice, a full hub is meant to connect several layers:
- a public issue page on the main site,
- related discussion in the forum,
- commons/wiki material where useful,
- blog posts or issue updates,
- and contributor pathways for affected people and facilitators.
How to read this map
Issues on this page fall along a continuum rather than a simple yes/no line. Your current structure uses a progression from lightly defined issues to fuller, active hubs, and active learning hubs sit on that same continuum.
That means an issue may be:
- Listed – the issue is recognized, but the structure is still minimal.
- Developing – there is at least a public page or early content, but the full hub is not in place yet.
- Active hub – the issue is actively being used to test or run the model in practice.
Current hub map
Active hubs
These are the strongest examples of the model in practice right now.
- Media Reform
One of the main hubs being used to test structure, roles, and content in practice. It serves as an example of how issue-focused work can move from analysis into planning and contribution pathways. - AI Data Centers
Another active learning hub, used to test how an issue page can connect affected-party concerns, public explanation, and future collaboration.
These active hubs matter because they are not just placeholders; they are where the project is learning what a real hub needs in order to be useful.
Developing issues
These issues have meaningful public presence but are not yet as fully structured.
- Immigration
Immigration already has a public page and early posts, and it fits directly into the issue/hub continuum. It is a developing issue that can become a fuller hub as more contributors and structure come into place. - Church Security
This issue exists in your current structure and belongs in the issue map, but it appears to be less central than the active learning hubs at this stage. It can remain visible here as a developing or lighter-structure issue until the hub deepens.
Supporting layers
These are not issue hubs themselves, but they are part of the map because hubs are meant to connect to them.
- Forum
The forum is the discussion and planning layer where issue communities can compare experiences, discuss priorities, and work toward clearer plans. - Commons / Wiki
The commons is the memory layer, where reusable knowledge, definitions, handbooks, and issue resources can accumulate over time. - Politics / public sentiment posts
Politics and issue blog posts are part of the broader ecosystem because they help document developments, shifts in sentiment, and issue-related analysis that may feed back into hubs.
Suggested visual structure
If you want this page to read clearly, a simple sectioned layout works better than a literal map graphic:
1. Active hubs
The places where the model is being tested most directly right now.
2. Developing issues
The issues that are public and meaningful but still building toward fuller hub structure.
3. Shared infrastructure
The forum, commons/wiki, and related layers that support all hubs rather than belonging to only one.
That gives visitors a quick sense of both breadth and maturity without implying the project is more complete than it is.
Why this page matters
A page like this helps solve two problems at once.
First, it shows that America’s Plan is multi-issue by design. The project is not just one campaign around one topic; it is trying to build a reusable structure that can work across many issues over time.
Second, it makes the current stage of each issue legible. Instead of forcing visitors to guess whether an issue page is a finished hub, an early placeholder, or an active work area, the Hubs Map can say that directly.
How people should use this page
Visitors can use this page in three main ways:
- To find an entry point – start with the issue closest to your lived experience.
- To understand the project’s build stage – see which areas are mature and which are still emerging.
- To identify where help is most needed – developing issues often need affected-party contributors, facilitators, and commons support to become fuller hubs.
In that sense, the Hubs Map is both a navigation page and a participation page.
Suggested issue cards
If you want to make this page more scan-friendly, each hub or issue can use the same compact card format:
- Issue name
- Current stage: Listed / Developing / Active hub
- Short description
- What exists now: issue page, blog posts, early hub, etc.
- Next need: facilitator, affected-party input, commons support, research help
That format keeps the page practical and makes it easier to update over time without rewriting the whole thing.
