We're striking out across the country in search of hope, talking with everyday Americans finding innovative, often unconventional ways to build resilience, build community, build hope. Whether designing a town for the homeless, cleaning up boatloads of trash in the bayou, bringing folks out of incarceration and addiction, transforming coal mines into farmlands, or saving the planet to save our lives, these people remind us that we too can make a difference in our own unique way. I'm Kate Tucker, and HOPE is my middle name.
