- We believe in the
innate
goodness of individuals
and the possibility
for
change.
- We seek for people to imagine
and act for
the
public good so that we can all do
the
unfinished
work
of our communities and the nation.
- Together, we must create
the conditions for
people to tap their potential to make a difference
and
join together to build a common future.
- Our aim is to ignite a
sense of possibility
and
hope in America.
- We must create more
advocates for
public
life.
Hope
Unraveled
The
People's
Retreat
and Our Way Back
 The
conventional wisdom driving
today's politics and public life is dead
wrong. We
have been told that we are a nation divided
along
lines of red and blue, religious and secular,
urban and
rural. But Hope Unraveled points to a
different
problem.
