About Us

Today it’s vital for our future that we learn to frame our messages in ways more Americans can get. To succeed, we must present our ideas about peace, justice, and a healthy, sustainable environment as part of the best American dream– a fair, just, and prosperous nation that does the right thing at home and abroad. That ideal still carries the finest American values, uniting left, center, and moderates on the other side–much needed common ground now.

Moreover, we ourselves represent a basic American phenomenon–people led by the desire for a new and better society. To this end, The Metaphor Project (MP) has been building the capacity of cutting edge American progressive and liberal activists to ‘speak American’ since 1997.
