Nothing beats a small town and a surrounding community that belongs to the people who live there. Small, creative, independent businesses, small-farm husbandry and home industry could do much to pull the entire country together.

Nothing beats a small town and a surrounding community that belongs to the people who live there. Small, creative, independent businesses, small-farm husbandry and home industry could do much to pull the entire country together.
Although state-narrow in its focus, Senator Booker’s excellent Justice for Black Farmers Act seems to make a case for nationwide application as the senator himself has recognized that “The economy has to get out of this ditch, and one way is to invest in infrastructure: from green infrastructure to roads and bridges to, in New Jersey, a new tunnel under the Hudson, to broadband. These things have the ability to supercharge the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs.” (Booker to Alison Steele, Phila. Inq.)
We need to offer hope, challenge, adventure to our young people as we strive to restore an environmental balance to our country. Why not invite a country-wide commitment to restoring our Heartland by growing small farms, towns, and industries along the Route 66 corridor, in part by awarding tracts of farmland now under corporate management to uprooted peoples across the country - farming that would be dedicated to the practices, for example, in films like The Biggest Little Farm and Kiss the Ground?
What prevents the Environmental Protection Agency, in concert with other agencies, from working to reestablish a rich migratory route, not only for wildlife but also for people, a route that not only links the coasts but also connects a growing Heartland of environmentally-committed farms, towns, and small industry?
Strengthen the core of this country and the entire nation prospers.
We need imagination in leadership. We need visible, palpable inspiration. Our young people need a genuine, virtuous adventure - an idea for which they can commit their passion and in which they can find hope in a future they can build.
