Here\u2019s the good news: <\/b>you are a Builder! This growing community is a place for hopeful problem solvers. We know most Americans agree far more than our politics makes it seem, and we lean into courage and curiosity to find common ground. Thanks to Builders like you, we are creating lasting solutions that improve our neighborhoods, cities, and the whole country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the challenge:<\/b> the most extreme voices are the loudest. Media and culture prop up the pot stirrers\u2014not the problem solvers. All the noise, vitriol, and division are breaking down trust, eroding essential institutions, and ultimately, leading to dehumanization and tragic violence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what you can do:<\/b> Support our growing community of more than 400,000 citizens from every corner of the country. 4 million followers on social means we are on to something\u2014Americans want to rebuild, reconnect, and restore the foundations of common ground that make us stronger together.\u00a0 Please consider making a one-time or monthly tax-deductible contribution that will fuel our mission and expand the reach of this powerful citizen-led movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
