The Civic Wealth Accord Initiative

America stands at a historic crossroads: while its economy thrives in aggregate, wealth has become dangerously concentrated in the hands of a small elite. The top 0.01% controls more wealth than the bottom 90%, eroding the foundational promise of equal opportunity and fueling widespread public disillusionment.

This proposal outlines the Civic Wealth Accord Initiative (CWAI) — a voluntary compact among U.S. billionaires to acknowledge their outsized economic influence and commit to measurable civic reinvestment. It establishes a nonpartisan public agency, the Civic Wealth Impact Agency (CWIA), designed to harness advanced technologies and public-private cooperation to deploy resources for maximum national benefit. It also provides a political roadmap toward equitable tax reform, democratized access to opportunity, and long-term system sustainability.

Transforming extreme wealth into national renewal through voluntary leadership, progressive taxation, and institutional innovation.

  • Wealth Acknowledgment

    Recognition that extreme wealth in a democracy comes with systemic responsibilities.

  • Redistributive Justice

    Agreement that progressive taxation is essential for long-term national stability.

  • Collective Priority-Setting

    Wealth should support education, healthcare, infrastructure, climate resilience, and democratic institutions.

  • Nonpartisan Technocracy

    Deployment of data, AI, and modern governance tools to track outcomes.

A voluntary, public-facing pledge to:

Acknowledge systemic imbalances.

Commit a minimum share of personal wealth (10–20%) to civic reinvestment.

Support federal tax and policy reforms that embed long-term redistribution.
