  • America Together is a movement to address polarization that begins with challenging a million Americans to befriend someone with profoundly different ideas

    What is our goal?

    America Together is building a movement of "unifiers" – people who want to learn how to better coexist in our diverse country. Our goal is to build capacity at scale for a pluralistic and interdependent society.

    How does it work?

    The America Together campaign is organized around a series of "challenges" starting with Breaking Bread. Each challenge will be revealed gradually. Before launching the first challenge (piloted in 2019), we are building a community of unifiers on our Unifier App.

  • Campaign Roadmap

    Early Pilots

    America Together has been piloting its programs since 2019, learning alongside local partners to understand how to design a campaign at scale. We've also built a coalition of partners, volunteers and supporters to advance our mission.

    Community

    As we launch the Unifier App, the America Together Campaign aims to build an active community that's learning about unity-building in their own local context. Building a positive community environment is key before launching a wider platform.

    Challenges

    Once our community of unifiers reaches critical mass, the America Together Campaign will begin mobilizing a million Americans to take part in a series of cross-ideology challenges. Anybody can sign up as an individual, group of friends, family, school or company.
