PROSPERITY UNBOUND

“Thought 4 Action identifies and removes economic and regulatory barriers that obstruct prosperity for
all people across the globe”

To create a wave of consciousness of the urgency of addressing informality now, Thought 4 Action launched a global campaign, 70% Informals. The key component of the campaign is a feature-length documentary which features Elena traveling to the GlobalSouth, Africa, Europe, and the United States, interviewing people living informally and others who have risen into the middle class.
