meeting in physical communities of nuance and compassion can transform america.
"we must expand our capacity to maintain complexity."

• Beyond the filter bubble •
In order to build bridges, we first need to recognize the chasm.
we are digitally divided.
this initiative may spread online, but it will only thrive in physical communities.
now is the time for non-partisan commons that challenge and unite us.

• the Pro-voice model •
the "Pro-voice" model is a powerful alternative to divisive, black and white political rhetoric.
it originated around the heated pro-life/ pro-choice debate.
rather than creating a space dedicated to one side of the issue, the organizers set out to build spaces where women simply shared their firsthand experiences.
This Pro-voice model can be applied to ever major issue our communities face.
