Bridging Our Divides: Confronting America’s Threat from Within
The United States is threatened by a paralyzed political system and growing cultural divide. Our mounting divisions are putting our nation at risk by preventing us from dealing responsibly with a range of critical threats and challenges facing us in the 21st century. This deterioration is reaching a point where we are losing trust and faith in our politicians, our institutions, and each other.
Please join us on the morning of Tuesday, January 14 for a public forum with thought leaders and reform activists who will examine the political, economic, and cultural root causes of our growing national divides and potential solutions. The event will feature the work of FixUS, a new project of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Further event details and agenda to follow. We hope you can join us. Please register now as space is limited. Light breakfast will be served.
