Why Give?

Because one person can make a difference.

Because we can change old ways of thinking.

The health reform debate is far from over. The desire for change resonates with people across political, economic, age, and other traditional demographic divisions.

We see too many Americans disengaged at a time when we need their voices most.
We believe that -
  • America is a nation of the people, for the people, by the people.
  • A majority of people can come together and move beyond partisanship.
  • There are more opportunities to come to agreement when we talk together about what we value, rather than resort to partisan rhetoric.
  • We Can Do Better.

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
