1. Hold conferences, workshops and meetings and use emails, videos and articles to:
   
   • Publicize and familiarize other with this proposed Common Strategic Plan and the below associated documents
   
   • Convince ourselves and others of the Urgent Need for Change and Reform and that there are more than enough people, resource and funding to do the required work and that we can and will succeed if we work together. 
2. Refine the key elements/documents of this plan:
   1. A Common Vision Statement for all.
   2. A set of common Goals with the primary goals being to ensure that both jobs (employment opportunities) at living wages and affordable necessities and needs of life are available for all with the entire government, organized and dedicated to ensuring these goals are met.
   3. Descriptions of the Problems standing in the way of meeting these goals. We must understand what the problems are and why they exist to correct them permanently.
   4. Descriptions of the underlying Causes of these problems. If these causes are not identified and corrected, the problems will likely reoccur.
   5. Common Agenda, which consist of proposed demands in the form of plans and actions to ensure the goals are met and the Vision is realized. These demands are divided into specific Immediate demands, which are listed below and longer range demands
   6. Funding Sources to pay for accomplishing the Common Agenda/Demands and providing funds for "deficit reduction"
3. Provide a comprehensive People's Information and Education Program
   
4. Build a comprehensive, nationwide United Front -- to help refine, implement and accomplish this Strategic Plan and work on national, state and local issues, . This United Front will consist of a non-hierarchical, matrix organization of individuals by state, city, town, community, neighborhood, apartment building using five/nine digit zip codes, particular issue/demand(s) that the individual is working on and organization(s) the individual is involved with. Encourage these organizations and individuals to discuss and work with their neighbors on the parts of this strategic plan and demands that they are particularly interested in. This will help revive senses of community, cooperation and caring for one another that we were all born with. Develop a Communications System for the United Front
5. Beginning with members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), inform and educate Congress and members of the administration on this strategic plan. As specific actions items are refined, provide them to the CPC to be put into statues and regulations.

We must do this now: We cannot wait until the next election, war or economic collapse.

The funding to do all this is clearly and readily available:

• With automation and technology, scientists and engineers have made it possible for a small percentage of the population to feed, clothe and house all the people of the world as shown in Poverty in the Midst of Plenty.
• Potential funding sources to pay for all the work in the Common Agenda are listed in Section E below.

The people, knowhow, wherewithal, and tools to do all this are readily available.
