Our Approach

Human beings can fully thrive when the systems, laws and policies they interact with are accessible, inclusive, equal, accessible and fair. We believe the more people who learn about and advocate for human rights and human-centered policies, the more quickly freedom and thriving can be realized for all people. Our work is guided by our human-centered, systemic-change agenda that focuses on addressing root causes of oppression at the systemic level. All People Thriving conducts research and analysis of important systems, policies, laws and institutions, and provides integrity-based recommendations and human-centered solutions designed to empower all people to thrive. We select projects based on urgent and compelling need in line with our national change agenda and/or with partners upon request.

Our Guiding Principles

At All People Thriving, we recognize political activism and human rights advocacy are not necessarily the same thing. Sacrificing even one person’s dignity and worth or liberties and freedoms for the “good of the whole” is not an option because each and every person matters. We are committed to bringing people together and doing what is right even when it is not popular or politically expedient. We aim to do better and raise the bar for everyone.
