We are not living in easy times, but the times will change when we are willing to change them. I feel my forty years being up close and personal with the trauma of so many thousands of individuals give me a unique perspective on what is needed to help America begin again.
Einstein said we wouldn't solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them, and this applies to politics as much as to anything else. It's time for a new beginning, and this will only happen if we're willing to look at the world in a different way.
If we neglect a child today, we should expect to see more prisons later. If we don't provide for people's needs today, we should expect a mental health crisis later. If we don't preserve the blessings of democracy today, we should expect the threat of authoritarianism later.
What is needed is not an army of the left or an army of the right, but an army of the good. If enough of us work hard enough, we can build a coalition of conscience powerful enough to turn this country around.
On March 4th – at 2pm ET, live in Washington DC as well as streamed live – I will be sharing my ideas for how, and I hope that you will join me. I will make an announcement that I hope will help shift the trajectory of our country's history.
With love and gratitude,
