Our Story

Who We Are (Our Mission?)

We are here. We have hope. We are not more than or less than. We do not use bigotry or hate to feel safe or seen. We care. We are working side-by-side to understand ourselves, each other, and our world. We do not stand by and watch. We stand up. We listen. We learn. We grow. We are curious. We use powerful tools — intellect, empathy, and ethics — to seek truth, and to strengthen our hearts and minds. We have courage. We create brave, thoughtful spaces that we share with each other. We imagine. We use lessons of the past to help us create a better future. We believe. The choices we make today will shape our lives tomorrow. They will become the next generations’ past. We are responsible. We make choices. Our choices make history.
