So we know that healthcare access and costs represent looming crises, environmental degradation continues to threaten the long term sustainability of life on our planet, our roads are breaking down, public transit is weak in all but a few cities, education and educational disparities continue to reinforce prevailing patterns of social, political, and economic marginalization in American society, and U.S. foreign policy, especially its engagement with low- and middle-income countries is, in many cases, reflective of policies drafted during the Cold War and it must now redefine how it will engage with the broader international community (and its over 1 billion young people) for the 21st Century.
There's a lot to be done. But all of those issues mentioned above require long-term policy responses; significant investments of time and committments of resources for the long haul in order to ensure we support a vibrant future for our country and world, including the Millennials generation.
Everyone knows the golden rule when it comes to charting the course of long term policy making: they that take online surveys determine the course of history.
In that spirit, I highly recommend checking out Young People First, a nascent organization that is developing a tool called the Future Preparedness Index to help our generation determine the terms of long-term policy making.
Check it out here to weigh in on what you think is most crucial for long term policy making.
