How We Help
We believe that empowering individuals to become politically active is vital for a thriving democracy. By engaging citizens in the political process—whether its at the ballot box, taking a position in your local government, educating yourself about contemporary problems, or something else that fits you in the present moment—we aspire to create a society that flourishes given the influence of a passionate group of leaders with a grass-roots mindset. Our strategy is not complicated: we try to help individuals transform themselves, for reasons they feel to be right, one by one.
The Authentic Citizens Collective thus not only aims to give people the knowledge they need to engage meaningfully in politics, it is also a tool for personal growth. We try to figure out how to bring each of us out at their best: personally, professionally, morally, civically, and more.
Your World Needs You.
Contemporary American society faces a variety of challenges.
The climate emergency. As the planet faces the urgent threat of rising global temperatures, the US and other nations must take decisive action, and soon, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources.
Healthcare. The US for-profit, private health care system costs tens of thousands of lives every year, forcing hundreds of thousands more into bankruptcy.
Systemic racism. Our criminal justice system, education system, health care system, etc., have a well-documented history of bigotry that remains baked in, targeting minorities in a variety of all-too-obvious ways.
Corruption in government. Corporations are allowed to donate unlimited amounts of money to politicians, lobbyists for those same corporations write the laws that are supposed to be regulating them, Congress members own stock in those same companies.
The list goes on, of course. The point of ACC is to help you address these challenges head on. We believe that in order to so, we must first find the set of issues that matter most to you given your upbringing, interests, current situation, and basic outlook on life. Then we can help decide how to respond in the most effective way possible, by providing you with a concrete action plan.
