Description
Recently established, the American Purpose is an online magazine, media project, and intellectual community. Through engagement in essays, podcasts, and hosted conversations with a diverse group of experts in a wide range of fields, the magazine has two broad goals: 1) To defend and promote liberal democracy in the United States; and 2) To better understand and address the challenges to liberal democracy abroad. In addition, because the American Purpose believes that the political and cultural issues of the moment cannot be separated from questions of enduring importance for life in the 21st century, more generally, it will offer criticism and commentary on history and biography, high art and pop culture, science, and technology. One-time only Corporation support will help this new platform develop its programming and build a sustainable business model, while it seeks additional support from other sources.
