What We Do

Discussion Groups

Our discussion groups offer a respectful space to share ideas, listen actively, build understanding, and find common ground across the political divide.

Social Events

Our casual gatherings and potlucks bring reds and blues together—not as sides, but as people—to build real connections across the political spectrum  

Community Service

Our annual community service events break down partisan stereotypes and division by working side-by-side to help others. 

Workshops

Our moderated workshops help conservatives and liberals move beyond harmful stereotypes and build skills that lead to productive problem-solving.
