Real change is already happening. Be The People shines a light and opens the door for more people to join in.

Problem Solvers
You don't need permission to fix what's broken around you. Problem solvers see a need and step up to meet it. We give everyday people a place to share their work, find others doing the same, and turn good intentions into real action.
Community Leaders
Leadership doesn't always come with a title or an org behind it — sometimes it's just someone showing up for their community. We give every leader the tools and resources to make the problems they're solving visible, accessible, and actionable.
Organizations
We're inviting organizations across the country to join us in making America's problem solvers visible at scale. When organizations lend their support, local work becomes a national story — and more people find their way in.
Be The People National Leadership Council
We are united by a shared commitment to the principles in the Declaration of Independence and a belief that there is no problem Americans can’t solve when they work together.
With financial, technical, and practical expertise, our dedicated partners help Be The People prosper and continue to make an impact.

Our shared principles

These ideals, norms, and principles allow Be The People to build community through an organized structure.

Constructive

We build up, rather than tear down—focusing on solutions and treating others with dignity and respect, even when we disagree.

Inclusive

We invite the widest variety of voices and ideas we can to the table, because we believe our differences make us stronger and more likely to make progress.

Community-focused

We join together across these differences to work together on common goals, all without compromising our principles—modeling the best of what it means to be American.

Apolitical

We put politics aside for this work—even if, true to a healthy democracy, we participate in politics in our own time—and focus instead on empowering people to solve problems in their own communities.

Non-violent

We do not tolerate violence of any kind—and subscribe to the conviction that non-violence is the surest path to a future in which everyone wins.
