A Meeting of Minds, Not Echoes

Superpowers for Good and Main Street Journal approach the same problems from different angles, drawing on unique voices, frameworks, and solutions. That makes our collaboration not just refreshing, but necessary. As Jen put it, we’re both “scurrying and collecting” a deep basket of ideas and stories from the grassroots—ensuring that the best thinking doesn’t go unnoticed.
