Coffee Party USA has restated its mission as: "Connecting communities to reclaim our government for the People."

Their take on the "Problem" should resonate with OEN readers and writers, "News, information, and political discourse have been professionalized and consolidated into the hands of a handful of elite media empires with morally ambiguous loyalties and objectives. Viewing audiences, particular older ones, have come to confuse high ratings and conflict-driven entertainment with reliable news and information sources, to our nation's peril."

In with election year propaganda and rants escalating, it's reassuring to see a movement that is all about good journalism, reason, and civil discourse.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
