The Dignity Index (by UNITE, supported by New Pluralists)
Contempt-driven language erodes trust, escalates division, and fuels extremism. The Dignity Index offers a practical, measurable approach to create a new standard in public dialogue—centered on mutual respect and possibility.
Webinar: July 24th 9:30am Social Connection Across Divides
We live in a moment of growing mistrust, misinformation, and misunderstanding. Yet, More in Common's data shows that the majority of Americans actually want to connect across divides—they just don't know how. This session reveals how shared values, dignity, and common goals can help restore trust in our communities and democracy.
Who Can We Trust? Exploring Truth in a Fractured Media Landscape
In an era of media saturation and growing political distrust, Braver Angels invites you to a Fishbowl-style conversation exploring how we make sense of the truth. This dynamic and respectful dialogue offers an opportunity for people from across the political spectrum to wrestle with questions like:
Why is trust in the media breaking down?
What roles do traditional and alternative media play in shaping opinion?
How can citizens find truth and resist manipulation?
Participants will rotate into an inner “fishbowl” circle to share insights, while others actively listen and learn.
This is a space for curiosity, not combat.
ghana think tank
Ghana ThinkTank addresses the imbalance of who defines expertise and innovation. By inverting the typical flow of international aid and development, it highlights the value of local knowledge in non-Western contexts. Its process encourages cross-cultural empathy, reframes power structures, and challenges assumptions rooted in colonial and technocratic mindsets.
Listen First Project
The Change Lab and Listen First are deeply aligned in mission and method. Both believe that systems change begins with relational culture—and that connection across difference is both a practice and a movement. Listen First provides vital infrastructure and national amplification for bridge-building work already happening in communities like ours.
