The United Vision Project

This is a nonpartisan outreach project where multiple organizations are collaborating to contact hundreds of thousands of Americans about why we are so divided.

Imagine if on weekends, people took a break from politics. Took a walk. Read a book. Listened to music. Just something. This was not supposed to be a 24/7 all-immersive experience. (And yes, I know I’m using Twitter to share this message)

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we mourn and remember the six million Jews and countless others who were killed during the Holocaust.

Today, and every day, we continue to honor the lives and legacies of those lost at the hands of bigotry and hatred everywhere.

No disingenuous or empty platitudes about Dr. King from elected officials today, or any day. The way to honor Dr. King is by delivering on voting rights and standing on the side of democracy. #MLKDay2022

[The United Vision Project @UnitedVisionPro]

We honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today and strive to live in line with his values every day. And we acknowledge that many politicians and organizations who may post his words today, would have voted against his work and calls for justice, deeming it "too radical."

We're just one of many orgs who realize the first step to saving our democracy is learning how to talk to each other! It sounds obvious, but it can be increasingly tricky in this political landscape. And it's never mattered more. @NICDInstitute https://t.co/hAUGtSjyKk
