Somewhere I Read is a home for cultural renewal.

We are not a political organization.
We are a cultural and civic initiative grounded in beauty, truth, art, poetry, helping and meaning.

What We Stand For:

• human dignity

• constitutional self-government as was penned 250 years ago

• moral clarity

• beauty as a civic force

• truth, empathy and courage

What We Stand Against:

• cruelty

• disrespect

• lies

• and any group that willfully ignores the self evident truth that we are all, indeed, created equal.

We are not aligned to a party or personality. We hope to represent both sides of the aisle, and dream of a day when there is no aisle at all. But we will also not pretend corruption and a blatant disregard for the constitution is anything less than un-American. We do not believe disrespect belongs in any aisle, anywhere.

At a time of deep division, we work to pull our most noble threads in our founding principles to the surface so all may aspire to them once again and accept our shared responsibility in making them real. This project is not about American exceptionalism; but rather, is about remembering why America was one of the most powerful ideas ever written, and inviting each generation to help make its promises come to life!
We are aligned to principles. And those principles can be found in our foundational documents, from the Declaration of Independence right up through The Gettysburg Address.

Any truly great nation must agree on its most noble principles and plan to live there - together.

“Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.” - Charles de Gaulle

Somewhere I Read is a steward of civic conscience.

With the understanding that storytelling creates identity, Somewhere I Read exists because the American story isn’t finished, and we refuse to let a handful of corporations or government elites write the ending for us. Our ancestors need to speak. Our under-represented communities need to be heard. Honest American voices need to be amplified. It is time THE PEOPLE determine WHO WE ARE.

In an age of unspeakable corruption, propaganda and grifting, we are giving the power back to the people.

We are handing the microphone back to American citizens through:

• A feature film and televised concert that will be nothing short of legendary.

• Real-time citizen journalism.

• National Lecture Series led by U.S. Ambassadors, Congressmen and retired Intelligence officials.

• Storytelling that rises from lived experience in ongoing podcasts and independent media news broadcasts.

• Voices from every community, not just the powerful few, highlighted across social media.

This is our country.
This is our voice.
And we’re taking both back.

IMMEDIATELY.
