Operation Together Flyer, 2039
As imagined by John Ashworth and the Shared Futures Lab
This March 2039 digital flyer for Operation Together invites Haywood County residents to join the planning committee for their Seventh Annual Fourth of July Civic Celebration. This local and strictly cross-partisan group was founded to rebuild civic trust in the wake of the divisive political campaigns of the 2020s.
Listen to John Ashworth explain why he imagines documents like this one will be created.
One statistic pointing towards this possible future is a March 2026 UMass Poll that found 74% of Americans believe citizens have more in common than what divides them. Read "The civic consensus beneath America’s political divide" from The Brookings Institution for more context.
