Our Priorities

Together Across America (TAA) is dedicated to building a national network that bridges growing political divisions by mobilizing a broad, diverse movement. TAA is not an organization, it is a national effort to brand a campaign for change. TEAM TAA brings people together, neighbor to neighbor, community to community, across party, race, gender, geography, culture, immigration status, and class. It serves as a hub, a nucleus of impassioned organizers, change-makers, leaders, and everyday Americans who are ready to take bold action within their communities.

Our Mission

Build a city, county, state and national network that is collaborating on a clear campaign to move from polarized and siloed to mobilized, Together Across America. We believe in the power of grassroots organizing and we are determined to build a nationally branded campaign that stands up to those who are making an effort to divide us.

Our VALUES are simple:

Our Story

Frustrated by political division, we were inspired by an event that happened 40 years ago, a national effort called "Hands Across America.” On May 25, 1986, over 5 million Americans united with a human chain stretching from Los Angeles to New York. Organized to raise money to combat homelessness, its lasting legacy was a powerful symbol of national solidarity. Today, our nation faces a new challenge, one of profound political and social division. Communities across the nation are increasingly isolated along lines of race, gender and geography.

Civil discourse has been replaced by hostility, and instances of outright political violence have become commonplace. At a time when our nation desperately needs cooler heads to prevail, the flames of division are only fanned by our elected leaders and media institutions who seek to consolidate support behind their agendas. It is up to us –ordinary Americans– to meet in the middle of our communities and organize for a better tomorrow. The intervention we need is clear, a modern “Together Across America" movement that reminds Americans from all backgrounds that we have more in common than what sets us apart. By physically standing in solidarity, in the center of the country or at a local event in the county, city or state that you reside, we will reconnect as fellow citizens, and fundamentally disrupt the cycle of

polarization and division engineered by the forces who want to divide us. We believe we must build a nationally branded campaign message that stands united against the division and chaos that is being pushed by the other side. Join us, Together Across America!
