"To the have the future we want, we need to build and invent more of what we need." - AbundanceJoin our mailing list, here.
Despite enormous technological and scientific progress over the past five decades, many basic goods in the United States are scarce, expensive, or difficult to access. From housing to transportation, red tape and political inertia have hamstrung government’s ability to deliver basic services and address emerging challenges. The Abundance movement aims to remove these institutional barriers to effective public policy. It seeks to realize a future with plentiful housing, clean energy, and robust infrastructure by enhancing state capacity to build and deliver.
As the nation’s top public university with a legacy of activism and a mission to serve the people of California, UC Berkeley is a important place to advance Abundance ideas in a state that has become emblematic of the very challenges Abundance seeks to address. Berkeley students feel these challenges firsthand and are uniquely positioned to help address them.At UC Berkeley, we bring students together from across disciplines to explore policy reform, technological progress, and state capacity. We’re not a single-issue group but a convener of people and groups who want to solve real problems. We host events, build community, and work on concrete projects that advance Abundance ideas.
