You are not alone.
We see you. We value you. We need you.
What's in it for me?
Often in this work, we're asked: "What are you willing to give up?"
We also find it useful to ask: "What might you gain?"
WE CAN HANDLE
THE TRUTH
We believe it is honorable to tell the truth and stand up for American values, fighting for freedom and justice for everyone.
We Can Handle The Truth is our storytelling project for people who love this country and refuse the false narratives that keep us divided. Inside you’ll find our Personal Stories and American Heroes that name what’s real, own what’s been ignored, and point toward what we can build together.
Choose truth. Choose courage. Choose an America that works for everyone.

Our Opportunity
The work for racial and economic justice benefits all of us, including White men.
White men, especially those with wealth, hold disproportionate power relative to our percentage of the population, and therefore have a unique duty and opportunity to act.
AND…all White men have much to gain, especially community, connection, and love. We all want a prosperous and safe world for ourselves, our children, and all those we care about.
