Who We Are
We are professionals, students, and parents reviving what it means to be an American.
We are Americans who share a vision to protect our American identity.
Our Goal
By 2050, one out of five Americans will be foreign born. Latino communities will triple in size and the percentage of Asian communities will increase significantly. There will be no clear racial or ethnic majority. Only 47% of Americans will be classified as white.
By 2050, the American population will drastically shift. New faces, new foods, new languages, and different skin colors will influence our everyday experiences. What appears ‘foreign’ will challenge how Americans see the world and how Americans identify themselves. America’s demographic shift will ask Americans to question how they define themselves as Americans.
IMAGINE 2050 will answer Americans’ questions by initiating a national dialogue about what it means to be American. By creating a national conversation, the blog seeks to strengthen our American identity.
IMAGINE 2050 asks you - as an American - to strengthen your American identity.
American Identity
Being an American means fighting for what you believe in. It means inspiring the people you love to hold onto their dreams and helping them to succeed. Being an American means hope, aspiration, optimism, perseverance, freedom, and liberty.
Being an American means to take what you’ve been given and to transform it into something unimaginably new.
None of us have succeeded on our own. We are who we are today because of the support of our family, friends, schools, and jobs. That’s what being an American is all about. It’s to look out for each other, not to protect the “number one.”
Our American strength - our individual courage - comes from each other, not just from ourselves.
