Is America just a lost cause? (Should I move to Canada?)

You’re asking if you should move to the “51st state”? Sure! Or how about Greenland? Just kidding. (By the way, humor is a key part of how we’re all going to stay in good spirits and beat the opposition!)

But seriously. No, America is not a lost cause. And where would you go? The rest of the world is facing similar threats.

2025-2028 will be a strenuous test with horrible consequences. But humanity has been through many many terrible chapters before. Through adversity, we will grow stronger and smarter. Our opposition will overreach and make mistakes. This is an opportunity for us to challenge ourselves to be better. We will win some and we will lose some. But the silver lining in any adverse situation is that it will force us to learn, improve, and figure out creative solutions and better ways forward. 

MVP is building an amazing “beloved community” of partners, donors, and volunteers to create these solutions. This is a big part of what gives us hope! And we would love to have you be a part of it. 

If history is any guide, the pendulum will swing back, and it is our job – and our privilege – to help design the country that we will swing back to. 

If you look at the last three swings (Reagan/Bush → Clinton; Bush II → Obama; and Trump → Biden), each new Democratic administration was more progressive and transformational than the last. Each represented a synthesis of the most popular parts of the prior Republican administration and a correction to its excesses and mistakes. We have the opportunity to organize and design for the next pendulum swing and to make it the best version of what we envision it could be.

Please don’t leave or give up hope! We know it’s hard some days. But we need you with us. Together we will do amazing things.
