In May 2020, Adam Mizel was yelling at his television. His wife turned to him and said, "You've been screaming at the TV about the Yankees for thirty years and they never hear you.
If you feel this way, what are you going to do?" He stood up, walked away from private equity, and spent the next five years building a movement to reunite America.
Last summer he drove across the country in a purple and white pickup truck with a film crew, talked to thousands of Americans, interviewed Shaq, and discovered something the media does not report: most people are not nearly as divided as they are told to be.
This is the story of Us United, the Unity Pledge, and what it actually takes to change a culture.
