The Organization
The OrangeBand Initiative is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to empowering people to have and promote respectful conversation about what matters. You decide what matters.
Besides distributing thousands of OrangeBands, the Initiative has helped organize over 100 discussion-oriented events about a range of important issues.
The OrangeBand Initiative is nonpartisan – but YOU don’t have to be!
An OrangeBand conversation is meant to be constructive. The goal of the conversations is to generate a better understanding of why a person thinks what s/he thinks. Conversations between people who disagree are an opportunity to learn from someone else's view! The organization is not interested in advocating for any particular stance, but it does encourage others (you) to discuss what they think - respectfully.
For OrangeBand to be successful in providing a neutral space for dialogue, the organization must remain neutral itself. We vigorously work to protect this political impartiality by inviting people of diverse perspectives to participate on staff and in our forums. Through nonprofit incorporation and 501(c)(3) status, we seek to protect the nonpartisan approach crucial to engaging a broad cross-section of the community.
