US Chamber of Connection
Reimagining Politics Through Curiosity, Relationships, and Shared Purpose
Overview
The Chamber of Connection is a nonpartisan initiative working to transform the culture of politics by strengthening human relationships among elected leaders. With a focus on curiosity, connection, and collaboration, the Chamber brings together state legislators—across party lines—to build trust, reduce polarization, and develop the skills needed to govern with integrity and empathy.
Why It Matters
At The Change Lab, we believe the future of democracy depends on our ability to reconnect across divides. The Chamber of Connection models what that looks like at the highest levels of state leadership: real conversations, shared meals, and sustained relationship-building that lead to more productive, respectful governance. Their work shows that lasting political change starts with deeper human connection.
What They Offer
