Want a less divided America?
Here's how you can help.

We can’t predict the outcome of our upcoming elections, but one thing is clear: America’s intense partisan divisions won’t disappear after November 3rd.

Regardless of who prevails at the polls, these divisions may even intensify, further fraying our deeply damaged social fabric.

We have the power to decide how this plays out:
We can allow a doomsday scenario of escalating partisan division and acute conflict to unfold, or we can end the destructive cycle of extreme polarization.

Here's the good news ... it is possible to break the spell of “us versus them” tribalism and chart a different course for our country.

Will you join us in empowering Americans to reject toxic polarization and choose a different path?

Polarization and Popular Entertainment

What role does popular entertainment play in political polarization? Can it fuel - or reduce - partisan animosity? Civic Health Project is finding out.

Our team believes entertainment represents an untapped opportunity for scalable impact on the problem of toxic polarization. There are signs that Hollywood is beginning to think so, too.

Dave Caplan, co-showrunner and executive producer for  ABC’s hit show "The Conners" worked with Civic Health Project and our grantee Pathos Labs on a project last spring that culminated in a Wednesday, October 28th episode focused on political polarization. We’re glad to see television addressing this issue head-on! Civic Health Project was also a proud sponsor of PopShift, an event put on by our grantee Pathos Labs and featured in Forbes. The event brought leading social scientists and screenwriters together to discuss ways in which entertainment can help bridge societal divides. Congratulations, Pathos Labs!Read the Article in Forbes
