We are a group of Americans who believe in the promise of America and our collective power to build more united communities.

It takes a village to run a program across the country. Meet the visionary leaders driving +MPU’s mission across America.

Our Six Core Values

Service: Sacrifice is the greatest expression of Patriotism. We are driven to serve our country, our communities and our neighbors. Our leaders must engage as servant leaders and recognize their duty to support Americans.

Virtue: Americans must aspire to do the right thing. Representative democracy can only work with virtuous people and we expect the same from our leaders.

Mercy: We treat our fellow Americans with compassion and believe the best in each other…most importantly when we disagree.

Humility: While we are strong in our convictions, we recognize that we have much to learn from each other. We approach our lives with open minds and open hearts.

Courage: We have the courage to stand up for our principles, especially when doing so is unpopular or inconvenient.

Hope: We have and will continue to face hardship and adversity as a nation. In these moments “we will choose hope over fear. We see the future not as something out of our control, but as something we can shape for the better.”

Pillars

Social Gatherings

Meaningful social gatherings, like potlucks and coffee clubs, are essential for building trust and empathy among individuals. Through face-to-face interactions, we can begin to see each other as fellow human beings that lay the foundation for deeper understanding and stronger community bonds.

Service

Engaging in service projects is a powerful way to unite people. When Americans from diverse backgrounds work together toward a common goal, they build a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. By sweating together, solving problems, and achieving shared successes, Americans develop mutual respect and a collective identity.

Civic Engagement

Active civic engagement is crucial for fostering trust between citizens and their government. When individuals participate in civic duties—such as voting, attending town hall meetings, and engaging in local governance—they become more informed and empowered, which in turn creates a stronger, healthier democracy.

Our Volunteer Brickyard Leaders

+MPU Brickyards are our version of local chapters where people of all backgrounds come together and connect through events like potlucks, service opportunities, and more. Through these experiences, we discover that we aren’t so different from each other based on our shared conversations.
