YOU ARE THE POWER w/ Family Advocates - Ryan Ralston, Gretchen Brocard & Jennifer Williams

Founded and operated by Spike Cohen, You Are The Power is a Membership-based nonprofit whose network has a shared social media reach of over 50 million, and a working relationship with activists and organizations in all 50 states.
The Mission of YATP is to spread, and act on, the Principle of Human Respect.

We accomplish this through:

Building Community Roots – We find people who are in need, activate our Members to organize that community around their cause, and demonstrate that we care, our solutions work, and they are welcome to join us to accomplish even more.
Network Effect – We grow and nurture a network of engaged and likeminded activists, train them on best practices for organizing and winning on causes, and communicate the principle behind why our solutions work: that people flourish without coercion, force or theft.
Education and Action – For both our Members and the general public, we use these causes and our network as an opportunity to educate them about the foundational Principle of Human Respect, and give them a direct call to action to implement this Principle into practice.
Our purpose is to use localized, grassroots, single-issue activism to empower people to work together to set our communities free, restore individual rights, and take the power away from government and put it back in your hands, where it belongs.

We are a non-partisan network of activists, community leaders, and candidates for elected office who identify problems and work to implement solutions.
