Combating toxic polarization

In the 10 months since I first interviewed tonight’s guest, our country has been rocked by COVID-19, racial unrest, economic collapse, an assault on truth, and the attack on Congress.  It would seem obvious to conclude that these things added to the already considerable gaps that separate Americans.  

Andrew Hanauer is the President and CEO of One America Movement, an organization founded after the 2016 election to fight polarization.  Among other things, One America brings people together across political, racial and religious divides to work on issues that matter to both sides – like poverty and the opioid epidemic.  Andy joins us to talk about the effectiveness of One America’s programs and to share, I hope, a glimmer of hope.
