Beyond Us & Them is the leading solution-focused 501(c)(3) aimed at ending the loneliness epidemic.

According to the US Surgeon General, loneliness is far more than just a bad feeling—it harms both individual and societal health. It's the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Together, we can find a way forward moving beyond us and them.

There is an urgent need for transformational change in the institutions we depend on for education, wellbeing and public safety. This historic moment demands a critical assessment of systems and structures that dehumanize and devalue individuals, demoralize agency staff and that perpetuate oppression, marginalization and racism. Beyond Us & Them has practical solutions to address a range of social and cultural crises, from the loneliness epidemic to fractured police-community relations and recidivism.

Our award-winning programs are found in prisons, schools, law enforcement agencies, organizations and in the reentry space for those returning home after incarceration. Our goal is to provide a way for us all to slow down, to recognize our shared humanity, and to find inclusive, cooperative solutions to our most pressing challenges. Your support is critical to helping Beyond Us & Them expand its much-needed work. Together, we can create more opportunities for dialogue and expression, build up and bring together communities, and contribute to a more compassionate, safe, and just society.

We're looking to expand our community of supporters. When you become a monthly donor of $20 or more you will receive a copy of Where Compassion Begins, as a gift, along with unlimited access to Beyond Us & Them's Social Connection Councils. Online Social Connection Councils offer a space for you to connect to others through the practice of council.

When we take care of our own wellbeing, we increase our capacity to do good. This is one of the many ways our work ripples out into the world.
