Be The People

Thank you Welcome.US for featuring Be The People in their July newsletter. From serving as a founding member of our National Leadership Council to playing a leading role at our first Join Fair in Nashville, Welcome.US demonstrates what’s possible when people show up together, furthering their mission of welcoming newcomers and helping them thrive in America.

After devastating fires burned through more than 14,000 acres, destroying homes, schools, and an entire community, a group of musicians decided to do something about it. Following the Concert for Altadena, local artists including Eric Krasno, Dawes, and Mandy Moore felt they could do even more. So they showed up, working side-by-side with their friends and neighbors to rebuild their community one house at a time. The work continues as Altadena Builds Back Foundation and San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity continue to bring people together to rebuild Altadena.

"We have the best chance to restore the dream of America." Founder of Imagine Entertainment & Television and Be The People National Leadership Council member Brian Grazer believes a stronger future starts when we step outside our own worlds and show up for others. Be The Inspiration. #BeThePeople

1 million streams and counting, and now we're excited to announce we have a music video.    "Gotta Be Us (Be The People)" is a song about every American who shows up for their neighbor, their community, and the person standing right next to them. This music video heroes some of those Americans, alongside the artists that lent their voice to this song.    Performed by Trevor Jackson, Smino, Luke Borchelt, Sadie Rose Van, Momo Boyd, and the Black Awakening Choir at VCU. Written by Poo Bear and Devin Baker. Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd. Directed by Rodney Lucas.   Watch: https://lnkd.in/g3RieZwG Listen: https://lnkd.in/g5ma62hy

Last Friday night, the lyrics to “Gotta Be Us” were projected across the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's Allegheny branch. Andrew Carnegie built libraries on the belief that ordinary people deserve the tools to build a better life for themselves and their communities. Lighting up one of his libraries with a modern call for Americans to show up for each other felt like the same idea, updated for right now. That’s what Be The People is about. Connecting Americans already solving problems in their communities with millions more ready to find their role. See what Americans are already building at bethepeople.org #GottaBeUs #BeThePeople

3,000 athletes. 75,000 fans. Zero limits. For a week, Minnesota became the most inclusive place in America, and everyone who showed up left changed by it. Be The People connects Americans already doing this kind of work with millions more ready to find their role. This is what showing up looks like.

"The brain trust that's behind this is extraordinary.” Creative Director for The Weeknd, Co-founder of No More Dreams, and Be The People National Leadership Council member La Mar Taylor shares why bringing together voices from culture, technology, music and beyond is what makes Be The People so powerful. Be The Bridge. #BeThePeople

Proud to see National Leadership Council member Scott Strode, founder of The Phoenix, on WICC’s “Melissa in the Morning.” Scott shared his work redefining how communities approach addiction and mental health, and highlighted the upcoming Shoulder Check, An #HT40 Initiative Showcase on July 30th in Fairfield, Connecticut, focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Scott said it best: the real magic and fabric of America is coming around common problems to solve them, whether as a state, a community, or a neighborhood. That’s exactly the story Be The People exists to amplify. #BeThePeople

Homeboy Industries didn't just open a door. They rebuilt the frame around it. The largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world has given thousands of people something harder to come by than a job: a real chance at a different life. Training, community, and the belief that your past doesn't have to write your future. We partnered with Homeboy Industries, BigTalk, and Chris Urias to tell that story — because it deserves more than a statistic. This is what second chances actually look like.
