We know that the ambitious mission we’re on will not be easy.
Addressing the challenges we face will require a sustained effort spanning decades—not just years. But we place our hope in the network you’ve gotten a taste of, and our broader community who—in the face of seemingly impossible odds—continue to believe in the power of lifting each other up and their own capacity to make change real.
We share this relentless optimism. And we believe that together, we can reinforce our democracy and tackle the most pressing issues of our time—for our generation and generations to come.
