Our national summit "was more than just a gathering: It was an opportunity to connect, to deepen our collective commitment to forge a politics of hope." 🏙️ New blog post here 👀: bridgeusa.org/young-people-s…

"We’re equipping people so that they know how to engage in these conversations in the future, and hopefully so that they’ll be motivated to learn more.” Great to be mentioned here as a group working on fostering dialogue! Young people can get engaged! insidehighered.com/news/students/…

Another great episode of A Braver Way Podcast! This one, on the tension surrounding Israel and Palestine, has a spot on BridgeUSA included. Listen here: braverangels.org/a-braver-way-e…

We support this! We're a group present on over 70 college and high school campuses dedicated to the same mission: Viewpoint diversity. It's what we're all about and we'd love to chat with you about it. #BetterDialogue starts here!
