With America more divided than ever, it feels like partisanship is here to stay and partnership is out the window. New research shows that among many Americans who do feel optimistic for our country’s future, a lack of trust in society’s foundational institutions has them considering a new social contract.

Cross-partisan organizations are working to change this by leading a movement of state and national leaders focused on shared solutions. Their work to redefine collaboration by prioritizing inclusive coalitions is yielding lasting solutions to some of the country’s biggest issues.

This session will explore how our institutions must adapt to meet the call for collaboration being heard across the country. And how innovative approaches to bringing people together can help advance progress across lines of difference amongst issues, sectors and communities.
