GROW A BETTER FUTURE
In
Panem,
the
Capitol
enforces
scarcity.
Though
there
are
a
mul,tude
of
resources
throughout
the
Districts,
though
Katniss
and
Gale
are
expert
hunters,
the
Capitol
uses
its
power
to
enforce
ar,ficial
scarcity.
This
forces
ci,zens
of
the
Districts
to
break
the
law
or
to
enter
their
names
for
the
Reaping
over
20
,mes.
The
system
is
designed
to
keep
the
rich
in
the
lap
of
luxury
and
the
poor
scrounging
for
scraps
to
feed
their
children.
Our
system
is
broken
too.
There
is
enough
food
in
the
world
to
go
around.
There
are
enough
farms,
enough
resources,
to
ensure
that
no
one
goes
hungry.
That’s
why
Oxfam
America
has
dedicated
its
GROW
campaign
to
reforming
these
systema,c
injus,ces.
It
addresses
5
major
failings
in
our
system
that
lead
to
starva,on
around
the
world.

Jongosier
social currency
‘...enables

But
collabora,on
is
more
than
just
the
exchange
of
ideas
and
intent.
It’s
also
where
ac,ons
occur.
These
interdependent
ac,ons
are
concurrent
to
each
other
—
meaning
they
occur
simultaneously,
because
of,
and
in
spite
of
each
other.’
...crowds
are
mo,vated
to
work
together
because
of
social
currency,
intangible
assets
that
offer
value
for
others.
But
the
mechanics
of
the
crowd
work
because
of
this
concurrency
and
collec,ve
intelligence.
Working
together
to
achieve
a
big
thing,
allows
individual
contribu,ons
to

In
this
increasingly
connected
world,
the
value
of
monetary
currency
is
diminished
where
the
currencies
of
social
exchange

collabora,on
maWer
more.
Individuals
can
self-‐

for
the
greater
purpose
of
achieving
a
