There’s a Better Path Forward

Our movement is founded on the beliefs that diversity of thought is a strength that leads to our most innovative ideas and that we must cooperate across our differences to solve the most pressing societal challenges of our time.

The 3Cs: Curiosity, Compassion, Courage

We can each work on the skills needed to overcome the forces that divide us — but where do we start? The 3Cs.

We all have an innate capacity for curiosity, compassion, and courage. The Starts With Us community is committed to turning the 3Cs into personal daily habits that have tremendous personal benefits:
