Fellow Americans
At a time of extreme polarization and division in our county, fellow americans' primary purpose is to create digital content to help repair and restore the deteriorating social bonds between americans by communicating and educating about the issues that affect all of us: the growing threat of climate change, the prevalance of gun violence, the cost and availability of health insurance, and the economic security for american families. Education includes creating digital content that tells stories about these challenges and building networks for americans who want to raise awareness about these issues. with the digital content that we create, we believe that we can help bring an american civic identity back into the foreground of our lives.
