Mission
Our mission is to bring together people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints to build understanding, reduce polarization, and strengthen our shared sense of community. Our bridging dialogues – where we bring together small, evenly divided groups of conservative and liberal leaning individuals – clarify disagreements, reduce stereotypes, and uncover common values.
What we offer?
- Core Bridging Dialogues - Foundational basics
- Common Ground Workshops - Single issue work (e.g., immigration, education, poverty, etc.)
- Salons - meeting monthly dialogues for “alumni” to strengthen relationships, deepen understanding of issues, and explore opportunities for taking joint action.
What do participants gain?
- Understand the lived experiences and beliefs of people with different perspectives.
- Find areas of common ground while honoring real differences.
- Learn skills to engage across divides with curiosity and respect.
