The American Village Letters is a publication about freedom that comes from communities designed around people, families, and children.
It is a continuation of the work that began as End Car Dependency, now focused more deeply on culture, place, and the practical steps needed to restore healthy towns and cities across America.
The American Village Letters exists to:
Reframe the conversation around transportation and land use in terms of freedom, family, and community
Demonstrate and offer practical, incremental ideas instead of abstract ideology
Connect cultural values with real-world policy and design choices
Help ordinary citizens understand how their towns work—and how they can be improved
If you care about strong families, local businesses, resilient neighborhoods, and places where daily life feels human again, you’re in the right place.
