Fed up with political division? Let's make a change together.
We're NOT trying to change anyone's mind on issues, but we often DO change how we see each other.
In our current political climate, individuals with differing political viewpoints not only hold contrasting opinions on various matters but also exhibit a growing animosity towards one another. This discord is detrimental to our communities, our nation, and the well-being of our children. It is imperative that we rediscover the means to engage in respectful and civil discourse once more. If you're skeptical about the feasibility of this endeavor, we once shared your doubts as well.
As individuals, we try to understand the other side's point of view, even if we don't agree with it.
In our communities, we engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
In politics, we support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.
Join conservatives, liberals, libertarians, progressives, unafilliated and
independents working together to make a difference in Minnesota
