Today we bring you Coworking Values Podcast: Belongfulness Series with Tony Bacigalupo - for this episode, he chats with Jon Alexander, and they dive into how the state of belonging can repair our social fabric.

Jon, the brains behind the game-changing book "Citizens: Why the Key to Everything is Us." talks about his transition from a consumerism-soaked advertising career to becoming a citizenship champion 

"Citizens" isn't just a book; it's a fresh perspective on collaboration and care. Jon discusses how the pandemic revealed flaws in traditional citizenship and the need for collective responsibility. 

He also explores urban transformations and grassroots movements like the National Park City and the Reaction Collective, highlighting the importance of community engagement.

According to Jon, coworking spaces are seen as hidden gems that offer spaces for democratic governance and community engagement. They promote collaboration, innovation, and values beyond consumerism.
