Dear John,
As of today, Dream Corps has become Dream.org — same mission, same spirit,
but even bigger ambition.
We’ve always dreamed big here. And our approach has made dreams real:
winning bipartisan criminal justice reform that brought 18,000+ people
home from behind bars, placing our tech cohort graduates in jobs with
$70,000 starting salaries, and driving billions in federal funding for
green investments.
So, why the change? We’ve felt for some time that our “outside” didn’t
necessarily reflect that magic and passion that happens behind the scenes
here every day. We also realized that this moment — and our mission —
demands more urgency and a bigger response than we were offering.
Countless people struggle to make ends meet, too many are locked behind
bars, and too few share in growing industries & wealth building. Despite
the enormous challenges we face as a country, we are often unable or
unwilling to come together to solve them.
But America is also overflowing with people full of compassion and
creativity. As our founder Van Jones puts it, our challenge is not
overcoming the “awful people” who traffic in bigotry and anger. It is
enlisting the “awesome people” who want change without hate, solutions
instead of blame, and bridge-building with a purpose. People like you,
John.

people — a home for changemakers dedicated to making dreams real,
together.

I talk to so many people who feel like there is no place for them. People
who:
* Reject the notion of a zero-sum game where only some benefit: White or
Black, urban or rural, liberals or conservatives.
* Believe America’s best days are before us, not in the past
* Refuse to retreat to siloes and prioritize unity and healing over
division and shame
* Yearn to come together and build bridges — not for the sake of it, but
to deliver real solutions for people who are hurting.
* Trust the people closest to the pain know what solutions we need, and
want to connect them with those who have capacity to create change.
Exhausted by dysfunction and division? Want to make America better, not
angrier? Love finding solutions more than pointing fingers? Then Dream.Org
is for you.
Our commitment to low-income, Black and Brown communities, and people who
are often left behind and left out of the American Dream will not change.
Nor will our desire to build common ground — even with those who disagree
with us. In these divided times, collaboration takes courage. Reaching
across racial and political lines can be risky and lonely. We need
co-conspirators and partners who can collaborate, strategize, and help us
scale our proven model to meet the deep need before us.
We envision a movement committed to crossing divides, spurring innovation,
enacting solutions, and inspiring the world — one that can fundamentally
change how people come together to solve America’s toughest problems and
create a tipping point for systemic change where love and unity outpace
hate and division.
Are you with us? [ [link removed] ]Then I encourage you to find a way to get more
involved today.
