Dear Friend, The Washington Post recently published a disturbing year-long examination on the declining health and life expectancy of Americans. They report: |
“After decades of progress, life expectancy — long regarded as a singular benchmark of a nation’s success — peaked in 2014 at 78.9 years, then drifted downward even before the coronavirus pandemic… an extreme manifestation of an underlying deterioration of health and a failure of the health system to respond. Chronic conditions thrive in a sink-or-swim culture, with the U.S. government spending far less than peer countries on preventive medicine and social welfare generally… The calamity of chronic disease is a ‘not-so-silent pandemic.’” |
It’s not just physical health that’s in decline — it’s also our mental, familial, and social health. And the underlying causal issues driving these declines are mostly overlooked in the current political establishment and in public policy.
That's why our campaign is launching a holistic initiative for addressing, preventing, and healing our physical and emotional wellbeing: Healing Root Causes: Solutions for Individual and Collective Repair. |
Overview of key areas of focus: |
- Preventative Health Care Focused on Cultivating Wellness
- Robust Mental Health Support
-
Whole Person Educational Systems Focused on Social & Emotional Learning
- Safe and Nurturing Communities & Families
- Healing-Focused Justice Systems
- International Peacebuilding

| To help make this unprecedented new initiative a reality, stand with us here: |
There’s an urgent need for these kinds of integrative, whole-person, whole-system approaches. Making them broadly available will cultivate more fulfilled and productive lives and communities, unleashing a wave of human potential unlike anything modern humanity has ever seen.
We hope you will take time to learn more about this new initiative. It’s time that more holistic and root-cause investments become a priority in our nation and world.
It will take advocacy and support from all of us to help make it happen. |
Thank you for your support, |
P.S. You can read the complete Healing Root Causes: Solutions for Individual and Collective Repair Plan here.
Here’s an overview of key areas of focus:
Preventative Health Care Focused on Cultivating Wellness: In partnership with Universal Healthcare (Medicare for All) give ample tools and resources to every American to cultivate genuine health — from personal wellness and stress support to removing toxins from our water, food, and air.
Robust Mental Health Support: Vastly expanded access to and research on mental health. This can include leading edge PTSD and trauma healing tools and modalities, as well as stress reduction and mindfulness resources among many others.
Whole Person Educational Systems Focused on Social & Emotional Learning: Direct robust resources towards social and emotional learning, conflict resolution education, mindfulness, life skills, physical and mental health, implementing trauma-informed systems and more.
Safe and Nurturing Communities & Families: Utilize smart prevention and intervention models which include trauma-informed child, adolescent and adult family wrap-around service systems; domestic-violence and child abuse prevention; community outreach and interruption; police-community relations; increased access to mental health services and more.
Healing-Focused Justice Systems: Key areas include Restorative and Transformative Justice, early interventions, trauma informed justice and courts, and substantial prisoner rehabilitation and re-entry support with a focus on dismantling racial inequities in the current judicial system.
International Peacebuilding: We cannot back ourselves into global peace, we need to invest and prioritize the work that helps it flourish, with a focus on mediation, development, diplomacy, democratic support, humanitarian aid and other peacebuilding tools proven to cultivate peace.
