There’s more that unites us than divides us.
America is at its best when we are united as Americans.
What does it mean to be American in the 21st century? No matter where we live, who we vote for, or how we worship, we all want the same things: for our family, friends, and ourselves to be safe and free.
​
Before we’re voters, we’re people. Before we debate ideas, we live our lives. Usmerica is a return to person-first citizenship—a life guided by values, not echo chambers.
​​
Let's stay out of the weeds and not focus on politics, religion, or race. These topics are core to our individuality, but there's more we have in common.​​​
What is the goal of Usmerica?
Encourage and enable you to have a conversation—and then another.​
Usmerica is not about politics or partisanship. It’s about creating a culture of respectful, ongoing conversation that helps us rediscover our shared American identity.​Follow your curiosity, welcome discomfort, prioritize listening, and commit to understanding before judgment. That’s how we reconnect as Americans.
The Power of Us

We’re not about changing minds. We’re about opening them.
The strength of our country depends not on agreeing with each other—but on truly listening to each other.
​
Let's enable and empower individuals to have discussions. Dialogue isn’t about finding common answers. It’s about finding common humanity.
​​​
We all can create space for trust, understanding, and respect—even amid disagreement.
And it reminds us that behind every belief is a person, not an enemy.
Mission: Us
The fabric of America has loosened but can be tightened through dialogue that transcends differences and reconnects us to our commonality.
​
Let's rekindle meaningful conversation and foster genuine connection among Americans by focusing on our common interests: feeling safe and free.
​​
Usmerica is a source of inspiration and enablement for those who believe being American is deeper than being partisan—a way of thinking that values cooperation, common ground, and a stronger future built together.
Why Conversation, not action?
Conversion is an action. We shouldn't seek agreement on every issue; we seek understanding.
By facilitating open, respectful conversations, we can remind ourselves that being American is about shared aspirations, not shared ideologies.
​
Below, we offer direction and guidance on how to approach these conversations.
