But addressing the problems in our political system will require the next generation to be more engaged and less polarized.</p><p><a href="https://www.bridgeusa.org/">BridgeUSA</a> was formed by college students to tackle the crisis head-on, with campus-based chapters at colleges around the country. This non-profit group hosts discussions and events, champions ideological diversity, teaches constructive engagement, and aims to promote a solution-oriented political culture. BridgeUSA’s chief goal is to develop a new generation of political leaders who value empathy and the common good.</p><p>Guests for this episode are Manu Meel, a recent graduate of U.C. Berkeley and Chief Executive Officer of BridgeUSA, and Jessica Carpenter, a senior at Arizona State University, who runs brand management and communications at BridgeUSA.</p><br><br><small>The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Common Ground Committee, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.</small><br>
