Mauve Mission:
All sides (will) come together.
Our mission is unity. To pull the American people together. To solve problems. To tell our story. We want to tell all of it. Not just one side, and not just two. But all the angles we can find to take us to the truth.
We study intersections–by examining where our opposites appear and studying everything between them, because there are more than two points on any line. We remember that not everything or everybody is what they seem to be. We recognize our own biases, and we acknowledge those of others. We value experience as the greatest marker of individuality, and humanity as the greatest measure of commonality. We embrace the knowledge that everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to teach.
