Polarization at every level of our political system has created an atmosphere of chronic dysfunction, making it difficult for elected officials to serve their communities, constituents, and the nation. We believe that government officials have an important role to play in shifting that dynamic, locally and nationally. The National Week of Conversation invites current and former officials, staff members, organizers, and those active in our political system to join us as we work to bring about a transformation in the way Americans engage across differences of political identities, visions, and values.
