Beyond Red and Blue
Purple Bird in the Middle is a community for anyone who feels politically homeless—those who don’t see themselves fully in red or blue, but instead find themselves somewhere in the middle. We believe there is strength, clarity, and dignity in refusing to be boxed into extremes. That “middle” isn’t a place of confusion; it’s a place of courage.
Our Symbol
Our symbol, the Purple Martin—the largest swallow in North America—captures our heartbeat. Its iridescent plumage reflects many colors at once, just as our community brings together people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. Each color shines on its own, but together they create something even more beautiful: a unified stand against division.
What We Stand For
At Purple Bird in the Middle, we choose connection over conflict, curiosity over tribalism, and unity over polarized thinking. We are the voices that refuse to be divided. We are the ones building something new, something hopeful, and something deeply human—together.
"This community is a breath of fresh air. It's a place where I can have open and honest conversations without judgment."
