The mission for the JEDI Futures is to inspire and catalyze people to co-create a brighter and better future for ourselves. Following the pilot phase of the work, (called American Future interviews), efforts have shifted to recruiting and training communities to begin their planning processes with personal visioning. This allows community planning to be grounded in what people want for themselves.  

The JEDI Futures personal visioning tool is freely available here. 

Additional blogs, interviews and podcasts are available on the program director, Debilyn Molineaux’s Substack. 

Results of the pilot project from 2024 are available via a 14 minute video. 

Project Director Bio:

Debilyn Molineaux is a longstanding leader of organizations working towards American healthy self-governance. She is also a political mystic, storyteller, collaborator and connector. Her life’s work is oriented to bring about a thriving, just and healthy democratic republic in the United States. As a pioneer in the democracy ecosystem, Debilyn offers consulting services to nonprofits, philanthropists, corporate leaders and foundations. She has co-founded or led initiatives over her 20+ year career to reach millions of Americans. Leadership roles included Center for Collaborative Democracy, Bridge Alliance, Citizen Connect, The Fulcrum, National Week of Conversation, Living Room Conversations, Coffee Party USA and various board roles. 

The latest expression of her work is JEDI Futures, noting that Imagination lays the tracks for the reality train to follow. Through simple questions, people can create their own future life story and unleash our collective imagination. This positive future visioning is an antidote to the malaise left by the conflict profiteers. Empowering her fellow citizens and scaling the work of her fellow leaders continue to be Debilyn’s passion and mission. Her actions help nurture and drive the large-scale collective action that moves our democracy forward.
