2. America is in a state of civic crisis and we are
responding by emerging from individualism
and moving towards
collectivism. CrowdCommunity calls upon
every American to make just one change in
their life that will contribute to the
commonwealth and they can begin this
journey with CrowdCommunity. Everyone’s
contribution will come together to create a
lasting, strong spiritual and moral force for
rebuilding the social capital in America.
