Open America and new America are beginning to take on the same meaning as more people desire a nation that is welcoming of new ideas and inventions in order to yield the political changes in the world.

With millions suffering around the world, individuals and organizations are working diligently to make America have a larger impact on the suffering and impoverished world around us.

Non-profits like The Borgen Project, The Open America Project, and New America work to make sure citizens know the facts about the world around us and the bills that are being implemented, or are not being implemented, by our elected officials.

Organizations like these believe in the influence we, both as individuals and as one of the most powerful nations on earth, have to change the lives of those suffering.

The Open America Project is an organization that mainly revolves around journalism and providing people with true and critical information that deserves to be known. The Open America Project strives to “open up the channels of information” so that we may stay informed and aware.

Eradicating ignorance in regards to our world is the first, and possibly most critical, step towards improving impoverished and unacceptable conditions.

Working to eliminate ignorance and improve political relations in the new, digital age is exactly what the organization New America is working for.

New America is a non-partisan, non-profit gaining national recognition for its efforts to merge technological advances with politics and policies, in order to better the lives of everyone around the world.

New America recognizes how this digital age is changing every aspect of daily life, and the potential it has to transform public problems at every level of interaction. By connecting the realms of technology, politics, and world issues the possibilities of global change are infinite.

They “address public problems at the local, state, federal, and international level” in order to ensure thorough and lasting change while fostering an innovative and diverse generation of thinkers and academics who can lead us into a successful future.

International security and news is one of the sections that New America covers because of concerns for the well being of those around the globe. Their coverage over terrorist attacks, policy changes and historical events aid in keeping people informed, but their influence does not end there.

Between sending out regular and detailed emails, podcasts that have a wide variety in topics, and holding events in large cities, New America is reaching every corner of the country and world to generate and guarantee transformation.

As organizations across the United States work to make the nation proactive and important in global change, more and more people become informed of what is happening and what needs to happen in order to produce further results for those in need. Becoming involved with these organizations is an easy, yet substantial change you can make on the world.
