Dear fellow traveler,

Like many of you, we at Institute for the Future have been shocked and distressed by the election results and the uncivil acts that are already unfolding in its wake. I have talked to many of you directly about how we can engage and what we need to do—right now, together—to assure that we maintain a free and open civil society. 

We would like to formalize these conversations a bit by returning to our roots and conducting a Delphi survey with those of you who have been our inspiration over the last many years. The goal of this survey is to gather and prioritize 100 ideas for the first 100 days—ideas about how we can create a future that truly works for everyone and to catalyze a shared public agenda for a free and open society.  

The survey will take place in 3 rounds, starting immediately. We hope to have results by Jan 16, ahead of the Jan 20 inauguration. The survey is anonymous (even to us) and will take advantage of the encrypted security of the SurveyGizmo platform.

Will you join us in creating an alternative vision of the first 100 days? You can start here:

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the future.

Marina
