Replace political fighting with
problem solving

Most people don’t have meaningful ways to help solve the problems affecting their communities, or their country. 

Unify America brings people together, in classrooms and in cities, to practice the habits democracy depends on: asking good questions, listening to other perspectives, and working through hard problems.

For Communities

Ongoing civic institutions that bring residents, local leaders, and community partners together to tackle real local challenges, through Civic Assemblies and other forms of collaborative public problem-solving.

For Higher Education

Intra-collegiate, structured conversations where college students practice working through complex issues, asking better questions, and understanding why people see the world differently.

Why Unify America exists

Democracy depends on people being able to listen, disagree, and solve problems together. But most of us rarely have real opportunities to use those skills.

That’s why we built Unify America.

Our team includes educators, facilitators, designers, technologists, and civic practitioners united by a simple belief: democracy works better when more people have a chance to practice it.
