The future of our entire species rests on the immediate choices we make, as the global center of consumer culture, regarding:
education
healthcare
food security
housing
entertainment
policing
transportation
and so much more

The fulfillment of these basic needs have been scientifically linked with a decrease in violent crime AND rates of diseases associated with stress and anxiety like stomach disorders and heart disease, while increasing literacy rates (sources for claims will be added in comments)
Who doesn't want to live longer, in a safer, smarter area of their choosing?
EVERYONE DOES
It’s the ONLY thing ALL Americans agree on
The reason any of the demands sound radical is because you know that YOU will have to change your lifestyle in some ways to demand these things

I understand the hesitation
Change isn't easy. But it's necessary
I'm living it and go into detail about my experience
Let's pump the brakes and check our options, as an entire country.
We're the wealthiest country in the world and these things aren't guaranteed?

You don't need to move to the city and complicate your life
You want the best for you/your family. I understand
We still need people feeding and helping the towns I grew up in of a 5k
Where most people were saints who would give their life for their neighbors

Places where half the population is addicted to prescription medication for their pain or drinks their nights away, which is the first expense to go when the layoffs come

Obviously it would be, before you give up your shelter and food for you and your family
You work hard. Why are you forced into worrying about that? Why can't you spend more time at the lake? Or hiking?
Or just sitting on your ass and drinking a beer after a long day?

YOU DESERVE BETTER
YOU get YOUR house and food guaranteed TOO
Your kids and grandkids get to help grow the area. Not everyone needs to live in big cities.
But we need the support of everyone outside of them!

Those cities of 20-50k that I've spent years of my life in
You don't want you OR the Johnson's across the street to be a single accident away from bankruptcy
You're all settled down, in the zone, raising your families
Away from the hectic city life and the noise

Your kids can go to school, play sports in their community, come eat dinner as a family, and grow up into a world that's more attentive and loving than you had
Why shouldn't more of your time be committed to making your close community that way?

Free of anxiety about where they'll sleep tonight and how they'll eat tomorrow

Minneapolis for me
I've been here 3 of the last 4 years and I love it to death
Today, I'm a couple miles from where George Floyd died and from where the precinct famously burned
My neighbors are emotionally wounded. All of us

I quit my job at a factory in the suburbs so I could focus on my community and the healing I feel around me is incredible
We made our signs, put on our masks and started screaming
NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE
So loudly, both in words and in actions, that it was heard around the world

WE ARE CLEARLY IN PAIN
People are burning police stations and you still aren’t listening
They siphon over a third of our city budget to 'protect' us
Who have they protected?
Did MPD protect Maple Grove, Maple Plain, or Maple Lake? (classic MN for you)
Fuck no
