John,
The election has come and gone, but we are still a nation in pain. Family members cutting off contact. Long-time friends refusing to speak to each other. People of color feel like half the country's turned on them. Divided neighborhoods struggling to come together.
None of us wants to continue on like this. Deep down in our bones, there is a feeling that something is off-kilter. That America is out of tune with our deepest dreams. That somewhere along the way, we made a grave mistake.
That's why we want to invite you to a Day of Redemption on Wednesday, December 2nd @**. In the spirit of reconciliation, we'll bring together unlikely allies, influencers, leaders across movements, currently incarcerated individuals, and the #cut50 Empathy Network, to heal the hurt, pain, despair, and tragedy of the last four years in hopes of truly forming a more perfect union.
Click here to RSVP for the Day of Redemption, including a conversation with members of the Dream Corps and Redemption Project production team, and a special message from Van Jones: [link removed]
The Day of Redemption is inspired by a CNN series created by our founder, Van Jones. Each episode of the 8-part The Redemption Project series follows a victim—or surviving family members—of a life-altering crime as they journey to meet face-to-face with the person who caused them harm, find answers, and heal together.
These aren't stories of cheap wins and getting even. They are stories of deep accountability, graceful forgiveness, collective pain, and a path forward toward a brighter future. They are a call to action for each of us grappling with how to put our political differences aside and a framework for our country to come together despite our great divides.
Over the past four years, we have hung our hopes on leaders who have come up short and promises that have been broken, and we've turned against each other to deal with the pain. But it's time to turn towards each other. The Day of Redemption is the start of our healing—to come together around common solutions and create a country that rises to the great expectations to which it was created centuries ago.
RSVP today to join us on the Day of Redemption - Wednesday, December 2nd @**. Once you sign up, you'll receive an exclusive invite to our members' Slack community, where we build community by discussing ideas like restorative justice in visionary spaces — together.
