Friend,

Our culture doesn’t suffer from a lack of information – it suffers from a lack of inspiration. 

Young people are told to conform, to feel guilty, to seek approval, instead of aspiring to greatness and pursuing their independent vision.

But the quest to be the independent man was my main takeaway from my favorite Ayn Rand book, The Fountainhead.

Rand’s hero of the story, the architect Howard Roark, is a man who refuses to compromise his creative vision — even for the woman he loves. His nemesis, Ellsworth Toohey, a critic (and a socialist) who seeks to build collective resentment against Roark to tear down this symbol of independent genius and enshrine mediocrity. He openly admits his mission: “Make man feel small. Make him feel guilty. Kill his aspiration and his integrity.”

However, today’s Tooheys don’t wear bow ties or talk of architecture. They run institutions and call themselves activists or “experts.” They smear and attack people like Elon Musk — not because he did something wrong, but because he’s achieved something great.

But today’s Tooheys still preach the same gospel of envy, the hatred of the good simply for being good.

At a time like this, our country could use more Howard Roarks – people who are willing to stand their ground, even when the whole world is against them.

That’s why I support The Atlas Society, and I hope you’ll join me.

My friend of 30 years, Jennifer Grossman, is the CEO of The Atlas Society, the leading non-profit organization reaching young people with Ayn Rand’s bold, life-changing ideas: independence, limited government, personal responsibility, and hard work — the very values that resonate most with me.

You can help The Atlas Society introduce these ideas to the next generation by clicking below and donating $10, $35, $100, or even $250 today.
 

Ayn Rand’s literature, like The Fountainhead, shows young people that there is another way: to pursue their own happiness, to achieve boldly and unapologetically.

The problem is that today, just 12% of young people read books daily for fun. How are they supposed to learn these important ideas if they are trapped within a 700+ page book?!

Here are a few of the innovative ways Jennifer and her team have made my favorite book more accessible to young people:

• Turning the book into a graphic novel, the most popular form of book for today’s generation 
• Creating an animated Book Trailer to inspire interest
• Producing Draw My Life videos of Howard Roark and Ayn Rand.
• Writing a Pocket Guide to help readers stay abreast of all the twists and turns in Rand's epic story.

The Atlas Society is replicating this process with several of Ayn Rand’s works to make them more accessible to young people and challenge the collective idea of mediocrity over greatness.

And it’s working!

Young people ARE responding, but The Atlas Society needs your help to push their incredible work even further. Please donate right away to bring Ayn Rand’s ideas to life. >>
 

Like Howard Roark, The Atlas Society is pioneering new ways to achieve their mission and present Ayn Rand’s philosophy to new audiences.

However, the Tooheys of today are still preaching mediocrity. They’re still smearing achievement as privilege. They’re still parading envy as a virtue. 

But, with your help, it doesn't have to be this way.

So if you believe in honoring excellence instead of punishing it...
If you believe in thinking for yourself instead of submitting to the mob...
If you believe that one honest man or woman can stand against the world and win…

Then please, join me in supporting The Atlas Society’s mission.
 

Thanks for your help!
