Mission: Inspire American unity

Create a culture of American unity for the next generation by producing content, experiences, and leaders that inspire it today.

 

Who we sErve

American unity exists when we take action to create it. We help Americans take action to create a culture of unity by giving professionals in American politics a creative outlet to write; by compiling their articles into graphic editorials that any American would want to read, keep, and share with their friends as an authentic expression of what they value; and by giving 20% of the funds donated to receive each copy on our website to partner organizations creating a culture of American unity across the United States.
