Envisioning equitable futures

The Center for the Creative Imagination seeks to envision and enact a future in which all people can reach their potential, with equal protection of rights and access to knowledge, resources, and human care and kindness.

A passion for making the healthy choice the easy choice

Working across structures, systems, and societies, we understand that humans build the systems which enable or constrain all of our lives. By expanding our imaginations, centering an ethics of care, and supporting creative action, we can build systems and structures to support a world which values our shared humanity.
