About our movement
A cross-ideological coalition of policymakers, technologists, and builders tackling America’s most pressing challenges.
Our mission
The abundance agenda starts from a simple premise: America can and should build more. More housing, more energy, more infrastructure, more opportunity — faster, cheaper, and cleaner. This isn’t a left or right idea. It’s a practical commitment shared by a growing coalition that cuts across traditional political lines.
The annual Abundance conference in Washington, DC exists to deepen that coalition and advance its agenda. We convene leaders who are serious about removing the barriers to growth — whether those barriers are regulatory, bureaucratic, or ideological. Our focus is on identifying concrete policy reforms and building the cross-partisan relationships needed to enact them.
What unites this movement is a shared conviction that revitalizing America’s productive capacity is not just an economic goal but a moral imperative — one that strengthens working families, restores democratic accountability, and proves that self-governance can still deliver results.
