My Wish For U.S. invites people to share their hopes for the future of the United States as we approach our nation’s 250th birthday. Nearly 250 years ago, our country began as a bold experiment built by people from all walks of life who risked everything to escape tyranny and imagine something new. They didn’t always agree or have all the answers, but their courage shaped a lasting democracy. Today, while our democracy has endured longer than any other, we still have work to do to reach our full potential.
