Hope, Not Fear Project

Every 2wks, I’m going somewhere in this country & putting people who disagree in a room. Not to fight or debate. To have a conversation. Honest, difficult, respectful. Not to hold hands or find common ground. But to lesson the hate and learn how to REALLY listen. @HNFProject.👇

Something powerful is coming. A song that says what so many of us feel but rarely say out loud. Our anthem… “Man, I Am Not Okay.” This is just a glimpse — a heartbeat — of what’s to come. #HopeNotFearProject #WeAreNotOkay #ManIAmNotOkay
