Jump in and build the future we want and have fun doing it.
#WethePeopleRise
✨ OUR MISSION
We the People Rise’s mission is to elevate our country and build bridges with each other. Through every triumph and trial, disagreement and reunion, we are bound by a love of America that inspires celebration and collaboration. Despite our challenges, we find the United States is still the place that makes us laugh, makes us strong, and calls us back home.
We believe in a land where rivers run free, voices rise in harmony, and every child, every dream, has room to grow. We are taking the lessoned learned from our past and building a future that is inclusive, fair, and full of promise—a future where all of us are free to be fully ourselves, and free to be in it together.
Message from our founder Kristin Hiemstra:
Here’s the deal: We The People Rise isn’t another movement with glossy words and heavy speeches. It’s a clarion call to anyone who refuses to settle for a divided country and an overwrought planet. We are better and smarter than our current climate suggests. We’ve got the power to resolve both challenges, and have a hell of a good time doing it.
How are we going to create bridges between people and make nice with the planet? By using our superpowers, of course. My superpower? Lifting people up and bringing lightness as a counselor and coach. Yours? Whatever it is, we need it and you.
Together, we can raise the vibe of this whole planet and build a world rooted in compassion, integrity, and fun. We laugh. We play. We swap bad jokes. We find joy in simply doing this together. Why? The better question is—why not?
“We the People” has always meant all of us. No matter who you are, what you believe, or how many candles were on your last birthday cake. No us vs. them here. That story’s dead.
This is for the dreamers, the doers, the everyday citizens who know in their bones we can live in a country that’s less divided, more joyful, and more alive.
So here’s your invite: pull up a chair, hop on a Wednesday call, join an Intentional Living group, or shout out about your latest adventure with the Live Life to the Fullest Club.
Got a few bucks? We’ll take those too.
Just bring your quirks, your gifts, your grit.
The future we’re building is damn beautiful. Come help us make it real.
I see you out there,
Kristin
