This is Lucas Grindley from Next City — a show about changemakers and their stories.

Next City will be back in November. Our editors are busy preparing the annual Solutions of the Year magazine and virtual festival. So, when we return, be ready to hear about innovative ways of making your city more equitable and just.

I’ve already gotten a peek at the list, and we have solutions that create affordable housing and end homelessness. Ways to improve our air quality and expand solar power.  Businesses that are owned by their employees. And much more.

I say it on every show — the truth is there are solutions to the problems oppressing people in cities. And when you join us in November, I hope it’s because you want to spread good ideas from one city to the next city.

By the way, does all that sound exciting to you, and you’re thinking, I want to sponsor this work? Send us an email at [email protected] to learn how your organization can get involved in Solutions of the Year. That’s [email protected].
