 New America has been the home of big ideas, been the home of engaging more than just the story of policy within the Beltway. Thoughtful, quick, uncommon commitment on the part of really smart people, vibrant, courageous, innovative, forward-looking and very hip. It really is about talent and ideas. New America really breaks the frame. I think the role of organizations such as the New America Foundation not only provide a forum for discussion and ideas and debate, but it also informs the American people. I think New America is becoming an even more exciting and indispensable fixture in the policy landscape. Well, you know, New America is fundamental because there's so few new ideas being discussed. The goal of New America is just to come up with new ideas and have an impact. When I walk into New America, I'm constantly learning. At our live events, I'm always impressed by the extraordinary collection of people we bring together to tackle the most challenging issues of our time. If you want democracy to work well, you have to have great ideas. It's world-class ideas that actually make world-class change. I want to change the world. I want to make it better. And that's what I think we do here at New America every day.
