Start Here

America’s Plan is a long‑term collaboration hub for people who are directly affected by major issues and want to do more than watch the news cycle. It exists so those people can find each other, understand how power really works, and design long‑term solutions together, issue by issue.

Use this page to choose your next step.


1. Get a quick overview

If you want the short version of what this project is and who it’s for:

  • Read: “What America’s Plan Is and Who It’s For”
    This piece explains the core problem, the basic idea of a citizen‑run long‑term plan, and who America’s Plan is trying to help first.

2. See how the hub works

If you want to understand the structure and tools before diving in:

  • Read: “How America’s Plan Works – Collaboration Hub Overview”
    This explains how the site, future forum, Commons/wiki, and newsletters fit together, and how work on many issues adds up over time into one shared plan.
  • Optional next:
    • “Power‑Struggle & Affected‑Parties Primer” – a short explainer on the recurring pattern of organized interests capturing institutions, and why affected parties are centered across issues instead of being pulled into one‑off campaigns.

3. Find your way into issues

If you’re ready to look at concrete topics:

  • Visit the Issues menu to see:
    • Active learning hubs (for example, Media Reform, AI Data Centers).
    • Early pre‑hubs (for example, Immigration, Enforcement & Rights) that already have articles and tailored recruitment pages.​

When you open an issue or pre‑hub page, you’ll see:

  • A short explanation of what the issue is about and who is affected.
  • Links to articles, Commons/wiki entries (as they come online), and any current projects.
  • Simple interest forms you can use if you’re directly affected or want to help.

4. Get involved or reach out

If you already know you want to help:

  • Use issue interest forms on any hub or pre‑hub page that matches your experience.
  • Or go to the Contact page and send a short note about:
    • Who you are.
    • Which issues touch your life or work.
    • Whether you might be interested as an affected party, facilitator, subject‑matter expert, or helper.

America’s Plan is a work in progress. This “Start Here” page will evolve as more issue hubs, pre‑hubs, and tools come online, but these three paths—overview, how it works, and issues/get involved—will stay the main ways in.
