Hope as Rebellion: Why It Matters

We must protect our human dignity and right to flourish in a democratic society. When systems of power benefit from our collective surrender, maintaining hope is revolutionary. Hope is not passive wishful thinking, but a creative, intentional act that requires courage and clarity. It's not blind optimism or denial of the powerful forces of tyranny — it's seeing clearly the challenges we face in Northern Virginia and beyond while refusing to relinquish our power to create change. Hope is an act of rebellion.

Power of Hope

Hope carries an energy that ripples outward, transforming not just individuals but entire communities. This contagious force gains momentum as it passes from person to person, neighborhood to neighborhood. What begins as a simple act of believing in possibility can grow into a movement that reshapes our shared reality.

Our Mission

We cultivate hope-centered people and communities as an act of healthy rebellion against authoritarianism. We reject despair and choose action to repair failing social systems and create systems that support mental wellbeing, protect human dignity, and promote economic flourishing for all.

Our Pledge

We choose to cultivate hope through simple daily acts. We believe hope is the key to forging resilience. We transform adversity into growth for the future.
