About Us

Mission

At OneAct, our mission is to build communities of active citizens who come together to analyze and tackle the world's challenges. We believe that individuals, empowered by collective action, can drive transformative change.

Through our platform, we provide the tools and resources for users to share their opinions, and engage in meaningful dialogue in order to channel their energy into constructive action. We stand to amplify collective efforts to propel solutions that drive meaningful impact when there is broad agreement. For complex and contentious issues, we aim to foster respectful discourse, bridge divides, and promote diverse perspectives, bringing people closer to mutual understanding and cooperation.

Together, we can be change-makers, collaborating to create and sustain a world where respect and cooperation prevail. Join us on OneAct to envision a better world and take the steps needed to make it a reality.

Our Story

We created OneAct because we saw a pressing need for a better way to drive meaningful, lasting change in our society. Despite the immense technological progress of recent decades, the most critical issues facing our communities - quality education, economic fairness, climate change, and many more - remain stubbornly stuck or are worsening.

As users ourselves, we felt powerless to make a real impact through the existing social platforms. Those platforms often leave us feeling overwhelmed, angry, or trapped in echo chambers - but not empowered to learn, dive deep into specific topics or take action. We believe that real change comes when dedicated, courageous individuals come together to learn about and tackle problems head-on.

That's why we built OneAct - to cut through the noise and provide a simple, unbiased space where you can dive deep into the pressing societal challenges that matter the most. Here, you can respectfully discuss, debate, and collaborate to further solutions. You can raise questions, concerns or stories, provide suggestions, and most importantly, take direct action to move these critical issues forward.

We want to empower you to be part of the change you wish to see. By coming together as a community, we know we can make meaningful progress on the challenges facing our society. OneAct is your platform to help create a better world.

Manifesto

At the core of OneAct is an unwavering belief in the power of engaged, informed citizens to drive meaningful, lasting change. We are not passive observers, but active agents of progress - united in our conviction that a better world is possible if we are willing to work for it.

Our principles begin with a relentless commitment to understanding the full complexity of the issues we face. We know that emotions can fuel our passions, but true solutions must be grounded in knowledge, logic, and an appreciation for nuance. We believe in the transformative potential of civil discourse, where we can respectfully debate, question, and learn from differing perspectives. And we are guided by the understanding that some problems require systematic, long-term solutions, while others demand more immediate, targeted action.

Above all, we recognize that progress is an ongoing journey, not a singular destination. We celebrate every incremental step forward, from bold, sweeping reforms to the quiet heroism of teachers, healthcare workers, and others who keep our world functioning. And we hold ourselves and our leaders accountable, never settling for convenient excuses or half-measures when the challenges we face are so profound.

This is our manifesto - a call to arms for those who share our conviction that a better world is not only possible, but necessary. Join us in studying the problems that matter most, aligning with experts while still questioning them, building coalitions for change, and refusing to stop until we've achieved measurable progress. It won't be easy, but by coming together with unwavering purpose, we know that each of us has the power to create the more just, equitable, and thriving society we all deserve.
