ABOUT YOU:

You are tired of feeling forced to pick sides in a never-ending battle of political good vs. evil when your heart tells you there is a better way. You are motivated to challenge yourself and others by engaging in an open and free exchange of ideas and opinions. You’re passionate about making connections that build the kind of world we all want. You are looking for an opportunity to build something worth building alongside people who may vote, think, or worship differently than you. You refuse to believe that isn’t possible. 

 

ABOUT US:
