    >There are signs of incipient organizing inspired by this intellectual work. The[ Center for New Liberalism](https://cnliberalism.org/) (which began as an intellectual project focused on a [podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-liberal-podcast/id1390384827)) has now grown into a network of chapters across the country. Organizations like the [Niskanen Center,](https://www.niskanencenter.org/) the [Foundation for American Innovation](https://www.thefai.org/), the [Breakthrough Institute](https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjjtbmQmsKGAxXwaUcBHRXVAJsYABAAGgJxdQ&ase=2&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9vqyBhCKARIsAIIcLMHBuVqXLfRPA-UZF5ARZ74COLceonYBQ7yxtVkx1SnV7ftmtv6hrvIaAqhFEALw_wcB&sig=AOD64_1EtwlY0i3aFYb4ToqScqD6P2y3gg&q&nis=4&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwid3LOQmsKGAxW8FlkFHf3fCKsQ0Qx6BAgHEAE), the [Inclusive Abundance Initiative](https://www.inclusiveabundance.org/), the [Abundance Network](https://www.abundancenetwork.com/), the [Abundance Institute](https://abundance.institute/), and the [Institute for Progress](https://ifp.org/) are growing into a coherent network, building out abundance-related ideas and working directly with politicians and organizers. While focused exclusively on housing, the YIMBY movement is now deeply organized in cities across the country and brings together activists in that space on an annual basis for its [Yimbytown](https://yimby.town/) conference.
