"If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less."- Kurt Hahn
America is a land founded on the premise that we each have the right to pursue life, liberty and happiness
We believe in an entrepreneurial spirit that enables us to pursue the American dream and contribute to the lives of others
The opportunity to create, live, work and prosper without restrictions and barriers belongs to each of us
The American dream however,does not exist for everyone
Too many people encounter barriers to living full lives
Barriers exist in education, justice, employment, health care, and housing—the many facets of well-being
We must understand barriers, partner with the best ideas, and enable people to lead stable, contributing and productive lives
The American dream should not be dictated by the circumstances into which we were born
We have an obligation to find inequities and root them out with the most effective solutions
