Solutions to our problems? Those who traffic in division want you to believe they don’t exist. It is commonplace to think that America is too split by partisanship and tribalism to tackle real problems. Yet every day at Dream.Org, we encounter people who are building common ground around common sense solutions – restoring access to food for newly released people, building a National Green Bank from the ground up, and getting the skills and training needed to be local changemakers. Not only do solutions exist, they can help us bridge our divides while creating a future that is better for all.

In solidarity,
— Nisha Anand

Dream JUSTICE

Starvation isn’t rehabilitation, it's torture. Imagine being locked away for years, released from prison then facing employment, programming, and compliance requirements — while you're starving. Hunger is a devastating obstacle for thousands of returning citizens who are cruelly denied SNAP benefits.

The RESTORE Act aims to repeal the 1996 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ban for drug offenses, allowing applications before release. This bipartisan bill ensures immediate access to food and support — critical for successful reentry and basic human dignity.

Dream GREEN

Thanks to your support, we’ve established a National Green Bank to combat climate change and provide affordable loans for clean, renewable energy nationwide. But now, Big Oil & Gas and their congressional allies are trying to block funding to kickstart clean energy projects in our communities.

We’re assembling a team of climate activists eager to speak up and defend their communities, and we need you. No experience is necessary – just sign up and we’ll provide all the tools and training you need to advocate, turn naysayers into supporters, and defend your community’s rights to these opportunities.

Everyone can dream, but not everyone is willing to DO. Our Sacramento Justice Next Cohort, in partnership with the NBA Foundation, is ready to do both. 

We found 18 young leaders looking to find solutions for Sacramento's problems, such as the housing crisis, gun violence, and mental health. Over the course of 7 weeks, participants engaged in skill-building, leadership, and professional development – including sessions on leveraging generative AI, digital campaigning, and advocacy. 

Please join us in celebrating these changemakers who are prepared to positively impact their community, and discover how our cohorts are changing lives and uplifting solutions.
