At The All American, we agree that:
Many forces want to divide us. But we don’t want to be divided against our neighbors, our communities, and our country. Our differences matter and should be respected, but we have a lot more in common than the things that separate us.
No one is coming to save us. Building a country where our families can thrive is not about picking Team Red or Team Blue; it’s about millions of us coming together to define what we need for the American Dream to survive into the next generation.
If we can’t dream it, we’ll never get there. We don’t have to be policy experts to know what direction our country should be headed in.
What is a Meetup?
The All American MeetUps bring people together in communities to discuss the pressing issues facing their families, futures, and the country. These forums provide an opportunity to connect and learn how to take action to advance the American Dream and build a new social contract that benefits us all.
What is a social contract?
Social contracts are simply a statement of what the government should owe the people and what the people owe the government and each other. The first American social contract was the Declaration of Independence—a document that states that:
-
the government exists for a specific purpose;
-
it is allowed by its citizens to govern so long as it fulfills that purpose; and
-
when it stops fulfilling that purpose, that consent is withdrawn and a new system is required.
The All American believes we’re overdue for a new social contract. We’re inviting our members to put together a vision of what we, the people, need to build a better future and what we’re willing to do to achieve it. We’re compiling millions of answers and we’ll sift through them, organize them and launch our 21st Century Bill of Rights. Together, we’ll demand those who seek to govern to agree to a new social contract around that vision.
