What to Expect
More in Common researchers and special guests walk through their latest insights on polarization, perception gaps, and social cohesion—highlighting practical strategies citizens, community leaders, and organizations can use to promote connection across divides.
Why It Matters
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.
