CAN WE MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN? IF SO, HOW?
America doesn’t have to be a country riddled with hatred, disrespect and violence, in fact it shouldn’t be. It’s up to us to change her and we can by choosing love and kindness as the basis by which we live our lives. Life is a precious gift and all human beings deserve and want to be valued and treated with respect. When we choose love and kindness as the foundation for our lives we strengthen the bond of humanity and our connection to people.
Respecting people means protecting people. It’s time for our leaders and politicians to quit talking and take action. How many of our children have to be lost to school violence before they are willing to act. Demand that your Senators and House members take action to strengthen and require background checks, ban assault weapons and improve mental health programs in our schools. If your local and national leaders are not willing to take action vote them out of office and elect someone who cares enough to make a difference.
Think of kindness as your personal investment in the health and well being of humanity and America.
Can you imagine how different America would be if everyone chose kindness in all their relationships. We can.
Our Goal
Our goal is to unleash the trans-formative power of love and kindness to change the face and heart of America. We seek to encourage all Americans to adopt love and kindness as the foundation for all their relationships.
What You Can Do
Make your voice heard by committing to a life grounded in love and kindness. Pledge that you will treat all people with kindness and respect and begin your walk to change America. Your choice will be instrumental in transforming not only your life but all the lives you touch and ultimately America. Demand that your elected officials make a stand against school violence by making your comments heard on this website. Help Change America will share your comments with our leaders and politicians with the hope that our message will begin to transform America and her government.

We choose people not labels- we help & we show love to people in our path, friend or brand new friend, on a daily basis. We greet, we hug, we help, we sing & sign language all over at churches & nursing homes.
