American Anchors is a documentary project about the people, institutions, and communities doing the hard work of rebuilding.
We look for what’s breaking, and who is fixing it. Our stories focus on economic mobility, work and AI, education and culture, civic participation, and community belonging.
We publish long-form conversations, short documentary portraits, and reporting, and we organize the project with two maps: issues and anchors.
