Coming Together

Our country is in the throes of deep division.

The path forward will not be an easy one. But we can begin by remembering that we share common goals of liberty and justice for all. We can build a country in which everyone is free to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Healing these divides will take patience, open communication, and a willingness to take a hard look at our history as a nation.

We’ve been through a lot this year. Here are some great minds on unity and coming together in the hopes that we can begin to heal.
