Our Mission

If we want a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, then it’s up to each of us to Be The People.

There is nothing we can’t accomplish when we look beyond our differences and come together as Americans. We’re problem solvers. Dreamers. Builders. This is the radical spirit that inspired our country’s founding. But 250 years later, some say that’s not who we are anymore. That we can’t get big things done. That we’re too divided. And that for some to get ahead, others have to be left behind.

This simply isn’t true. And we can prove it. The things we do for each other are more powerful than anything that divides us. Be The People is a call to action. A call answered every time Americans step up to make things better, stand up to overcome differences, and show up to help each other succeed.

Let’s show the world what it means to be an American.

Share Your Story

Be The People is a problem-solving platform to help people get involved in their communities and to showcase how they embody the principles that inspired our country’s founding through everyday actions. Actions that may not make headlines, but definitely make a difference.

So how will you “Be The People”

Maybe it’s volunteering to help people in need get back on their feet
Maybe it’s coaching, teaching, or mentoring to unlock the strength in others
Maybe it’s starting a business to serve your community
Maybe it’s stepping up in a time of need
Or bringing people together to overcome differences
Or maybe it’s just being the person that goes the extra mile… at work… at home… in your community…

We want to hear and share stories that shine a light on what’s possible when we step up to take action. Not out of anger, but out of belief—belief that the things we build together are more powerful than anything that divides us.

If that’s you, we hope you’ll share your story with us. Because your story is the story of America. And it matters now more than ever.
