United We Build

As we head into an election year, Interfaith America, an organization with over twenty years of experience creating social cohesion and civic cooperation, would like to highlight the often-unheralded stewards of democratic practice, individuals who work daily to create space where others are welcome and seen. To bring these stories to the forefront, we are launching ‘United We Build,’ a mini-documentary series highlighting bridgebuilders nationwide. These bridgebuilders share a belief in our Potluck Nation, a country of diverse identities and divergent ideologies. That belief is often fueled by their varying faiths and rich religious traditions.    

The individuals and organizations whose stories we are highlighting are mighty for their ability to organize, create, and help those around them. They are regular people engaged in the civic space, attempting in their ways and parts of the country to heal the nation. They are heroes and examples of our collective strength and genius. They remind us that collectively, we are much weaker when divided.
