Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TO FURTHER EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES BY CREATING A CULTURE OF UNIVERSAL DIGNITY. UNITE IS COMMITTED TO A FUTURE WHERE DIGNITY WILL BE SEEN AS A WINNING STRATEGY IN POLITICS AND POLICY-MAKING, AND HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER WILL BE SEEN AS A MARK OF PATRIOTISM, A MEASURE OF OUR WELL-BEING, AND A KEY INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

UNITE IS ON A MISSION TO EASE DIVISIONS, PREVENT VIOLENCE, AND SOLVE PROBLEMS. WE WORK TO MOVE FROM A CULTURE OF CONTEMPT TO A CULTURE OF DIGNITY.

  • DIGNITY INDEX THE DIGNITY INDEX IS AN EIGHT-POINT SCALE FOR MEASURING HOW WE TALK TO EACH OTHER WHEN WE DISAGREE. BY SPOTLIGHTING DIGNITY, WE CAN EASE DIVISIONS, PREVENT VIOLENCE, AND SOLVE PROBLEMS. WE PILOTED THE INDEX IN THE 2022 UTAH CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS, WHERE WE APPLIED IT TO CANDIDATES' SPEECHES AND DEBATES, AND RELEASED SCORES WEEKLY LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION. WE RECEIVED POSITIVE MEDIA COVERAGE AND HAD CORPORATE AND EDUCATIONAL DIGNITY AMBASSADOR PARTNERSHIPS. WE WANT DIGNITY TO BE SEEN AS A WINNING STRATEGY IN POLITICS AND POLICYMAKING, AND HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER WILL BE SEEN AS A MARK OF PATRIOTISM, A MEASURE OF OUR WELL-BEING, AND A KEY INDICATOR OF OUR FUTURE.

    Expenses $905,771

  • UNITE NEWS WE BELIEVE INCREASING THE POPULATION OF "UNITERS" IN THE COUNTRY IS THE KEY TO CHANGING THE CULTURE. UNITERS OVERCOME DIVISIONS BY TREATING EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY, CHALLENGING CONTEMPT, CROSSING DIVIDES, MEETING WITH IMPROBABLE PARTNERS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, AND BUILDING THE SKILLS TO HONOR THE DIGNITY OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE. IN 2022, UNITE NEWS REPORTED ON CONTEMPT AS A TACTIC TO BOOST TV RATINGS; FAMILIES TORN APART BY THE LEFT-RIGHT DIVIDE; THE HEALING POWER OF DIGNITY; THE ADDICTIVE POWER OF CONTEMPT; THE LINK BETWEEN CONTEMPT AND ANXIETY; AND CULTURE-CHANGING MOMENTS WHERE CONTEMPT BACKFIRED.

    Expenses $55,790

  • DIVIDERS ANONYMOUS DIVIDERS ANONYMOUS IS A GROUP DEDICATED TO INTERNAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE ONENESS OF THE HUMAN FAMILY. IT IS A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSCIOUS OF THEIR ADDICTIONS TO WAYS OF THINKING THAT DIVIDE US AND WHO SHARE A DESIRE TO PRACTICE BEING A UNITER. THE SUPPORT GROUP IS BASED ON THE 12-STEPS OF THE ADDICTION RECOVERY PROGRAMS, FOCUSING ON OUR CULTURAL AND INDIVIDUAL ADDICTION TO CONTEMPT. IN 2022, WE HELD WEEKLY MEETINGS AS A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE TO CONSCIOUSLY CULTIVATE OUR EFFORTS TO UNITE AND OUR ADDICTION TO CONTEMPT, SCAPEGOATING, AND OTHERING.
