The measure of true leadership
Americans deserve a true leader — leadership whose ideas cohere across all four arenas and who backs them with action, in policy and in their own life. Regenerative America gives that demand a voice, holds leaders to it, and uplifts those who can embody it.
What we look for
We hold leaders to coherence across all four arenas — in their policy and in how they actually live. A leader meets the Standard when their public positions and private conduct point the same direction.
How we live
Daily life rooted in simplicity, self-reliance, balance, and harmony with nature.
How we educate our children
Character and conscience over conformity — the transcendentalists were themselves education reformers.
How we work
Meaningful vocation over extraction and consumption: a life worth living, not just earning.
How we self-govern
Who we let govern us, what we expect from them, and why. This is where the Standard lives.
In progress
The detailed, point-by-point criteria of the Standard are being finalized with Dan. This page states the framework; the specific tests come next. To see the principles it draws on, read The Idea.
