An after school creative writing revolution that reports the good news from a future that works for everyone.

The Daily Optimists is brought to you by the NewsRoom from the Future, a creative writing project that time travels to a not-so-distant utopian future. Student journalists simultaneously rewrite the future (all on midcentury typewriters) and take up the task of creating an independent media company that shares the good news: the future can work for everyone.

I thought I was crazy for dreaming once that all the worlds problems could be fixed on the level of the neighborhood and that I could tilt the wheel in the direction of manifesting that by writing preposterously possible fake news stories from the future that works for everyone. I have since come to peace with the fact that I am not crazy but our current society most certainly is and it is trying to take us all down with it. I just pray that all you comrades out there let your mind drift, if only for a moment, to the future you want to see. None of us should feel crazy for know deep down inside that the current myth of scarcity and poverty is a lie. This world is abundant. We just have to learn together how to heal ourselves and our communities. One day at a time y’all. I send this *t out -as the poets say- as a prayer for every dreamer out there to wake up ready to do play your part.
