This project is important because...

There are two Americas and we are at War.

Maybe not a "War" in a familiar sense - with spears or bows and arrows or guns and cannons or cavalry and tanks or drones...

We don't see the miles of battlefields strewn with millions of dead bodies...

But take an honest look around and there are casualties, trauma, anger, ended relationships, brokenness, fear, outrage an HATE - everywhere.

This war is far from over and there may be more division, trauma and destruction to come.

History leaves clues.

Think about this.

In spite of the underlying divides we are experiencing now, the economy is "good" and unemployment "low."

But what if that changed?

What if there is another bubble, people started losing jobs, can't pay bills, start going hungry, or losing their homes, the added pressure will accelerate the divisions, inequality and scapegoating.

It may get worse before it gets better.

"What can we do today to make tomorrow easier?"

The #1 most important thing you can do today is strengthen dialogue within your tribe and those outside your tribe.

By listening to others carefully and planting seeds of truth and hope and love. This directly addresses ideologies opposed to Democracy and Freedom and Equality.

I am cautiously hopeful, righteously angry and insistent in a belief that reducing HATRED and amplifying LOVE and TRUTH will make humanity stronger.

I also believe we should be strategically strengthening our own communities and tribes TODAY.

An ounce of prevention today will be worth many pounds of cure tomorrow.

Here's what I've learned from the revolutionaries like Ghandi, MLK, Lincoln, and Wilberforce.

• Democracy dies without truth AND dialogue.
• Living out our values practically and visibly demonstrates consistency and trust
• Strategic Non-Violent Activism creates social change and strengthens democracy and equality.
• A healthy tribe of like-minded allies will help us make it through. We are stronger together - Weaker apart.

I want to help you strengthen your tribe, strengthen yourself and and help you reduce hatred and amplify love in your community's lives without abandoning your principles and values.
