That New New: Latest Releases + Updates from Hyperakt

WeWork x The Aspen Institute
WeWork tapped Hyperakt to showcase a comprehensive study conducted in partnership with The Aspen Institute’s Future of Work Initiative. With over 30,000 respondents worldwide — from Singapore to Sao Paolo — the report captures optimism and worry across a changing landscape. We designed and built a custom website to showcase the depth and breadth of the research results with a dynamic, interactive digital experience. Explore the report and see what workers and employers around the world are thinking as they look to the future.

Justice Not Fear
2019 was a watershed year for cash bail reform efforts, and in January 2020 New York State passed landmark legislation to end cash bail for most low-level offenses. In response, conservative and special interest groups have blasted messages of fear across the media. To combat this regressive publicity effort, we worked with Zealous and Color of Change to launch Justice Not Fear. JNF is a knowledge and resource hub to empower citizens to continue advocating for this important policy progress. (And by citizens, we mean you, and you, and you! Click through to get involved.)
