Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are created equal and endowed with the right to pursue happiness. He didn't write a plan. The people who built this country — and the ones rebuilding it today — filled in the rest. From affordable housing to elder care, the Stand Together community partners with individuals solving America's biggest challenges from the ground up. #america250
What happens when communities make it easier to contribute?
Six @ArmyNormalFolks service clubs launched in 2026 to test a new model for local volunteering. In a few months, ANF members logged 1,300+ hours, and 99 people joined local giving circles. The early results are a promising snapshot. 🧵
That's the more interesting measure of success: not just whether people show up, but whether one experience leads to another. Members are returning, giving, leading, and helping create new opportunities to serve.
The early results are a promising snapshot: when people have an accessible way to contribute, participation can lead to trust, leadership, and more opportunities to serve. Read the full story: bit.ly/4i2QhY0

Partisan discord doesn’t begin and end on Election Day. Neither does the rhetoric that fuels it.
Since 2022, @PRL_Tweets at Dartmouth College has looked beyond the political horse race, tracking Americans’ views and elected officials’ messages in real-time week by week. The lab’s findings reveal a strong disconnect between many communities -- nearly 86% of Americans reported a negative view of the other political party.
So, what is driving that animosity? And how can Americans foster a more constructive political environment? @seanjwestwood is studying the answers.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're celebrating our longtime partner The LIBRE Initiative for 15 years of showing up for Latino communities. 🇺🇸
Across 13 states, their teams listen to families, open doors for entrepreneurs, and help turn community priorities into real change, like Colorado's new law letting home cooks sell their products legally. That's what lasting change looks like: people empowering people. ¡Felicidades, @LIBREinitiative!

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re looking at some of the conditions that can support kids’ mental health before a crisis begins. 🧵
Youth mental health has shown signs of improvement in recent years, but millions of young people still face serious mental health challenges. In 2024, 2.8 million adolescents experienced a major depressive episode severe enough to disrupt their daily lives.
Across the Stand Together community, changemakers are putting those ideas into practice by creating more opportunities for kids to build confidence, exercise judgment, strengthen relationships, and discover what they are capable of.
