American Hope
Media Campaign
The American Story is a story of hope. Hope is a choice we make. And hope is empowering. And hope is contagious! It is time we empower each other to write a new chapter of the American Hope story:
Our collective story
It has been said that to some generations much is given, of others much is asked. Ours is a generation that is defined by both. We live in the richest country in the history of the world. Science has brought all manner of conveniences to us that were unheard of since time immemorial. Yet, most of us are feeling the flip side of this new global growth – isolation, disconnection, and hopelessness about the state of affairs & our collective future.
There is a sinking feeling that as a people we have got stuck in discord & fear – for our communities, our country and our world. The promise of a “more perfect union” seems to be faltering.
We find ourselves at a moment when each of us has a choice to make – give into the status quo of “US” vs. “THEM”, fearing & hating the “OTHERS” who do not understand or agree with us, packing our bags or packing our guns OR we TAKE A STAND ON THE SIDE OF HOPE by refusing to believe the pundits and the doomsayers who are telling us that our fellow Americans are our enemy, and DEFY THEIR DEMANDS to hate each other.
To counter the mainstream media stories of hate & division, the “American Hope” series features stories of regular folks sharing a moment from their lives when they or someone they know faced a situation when it was easy to give in to the status quo of fear, hate & despair yet they CHOSE to take the high road of love, hope & goodness to do the right thing.
We can fall into despair, but hope is always a choice. HOPE IS AN ACT OF DEFIANCE. DEFY WITH US. SHARE YOUR HOPE STORY. Send us an email at partner@theindependentspirit.us with the subject “American Hope Story”.
