What if we could change the world by changing a word?

Our species has a habit of dividing and subdividing ourselves into groups. We give these groups names – labels that become fundamental to one’s identity as a member of that group. These proper nouns are all denoted by capital letters, yet the elevated status conferred upon these labels does not apply to the one word that defines and includes us all.

Project Human is a grassroots campaign to capitalize the letter H in Human in order to promote the idea that being Human is part of our individual and global identity.

It's as simple as it sounds, but the power of this movement can stretch far beyond basic changes in grammatical rules. As we've seen in recent years, identity is the primary driver of how people think about themselves, act toward others, and how they vote.

Each time an individual capitalizes the H in Human, they are transforming their worldview and communicating this symbol of kinship to their community. Collectively, these actions are capable of influencing our local and global behavior. While capitalizing a single letter will not solve all of our planet’s problems, we can pursue peace, progress, and prosperity more effectively when we act together.
