How to Collaborate in Polarized Times

<p>In this episode, we share a discussion from this spring’s 2022 Collective Impact Action Summit. This discussion explored ways to better collaborate across differences, including different experiences and ideologies, and specifically, how funders could support grantees and partners when bridging across divides, especially in times of deep polarization and turmoil. <br /><br />Joining this discussion is <strong>Kristen Cambell</strong> (Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement - PACE), <strong>Wendy Feliz </strong>(American Immigration Council), <strong>Andrew Hanauer</strong> (One America Movement), and <strong>Ted Johnson </strong>(Brennan Center for Justice). Introducing this discussion is <strong>Cindy Santos</strong>, (Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions.)</p><p><strong>Resources and Footnotes</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://collectiveimpactforum.org/resource/collaboration-in-polarized-times/">Video and Transcript</a> of this discussion</li><li><a href="http://www.pacefunders.org/">Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement - PACE</a></li><li><a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/">American Immigration Council</a></li><li><a href="https://oneamericamovement.org/">One America Movement</a></li><li><a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/">Brennan Center for Justice</a></li><li><a href="http://www.pacefunders.org/bridging-civic-divides-essays/">Bridging Civic Divides</a> essay series by Decker Ngongang for PACE</li><li><a href="https://medium.com/p/89c8ba19fc54">Complicating the Narrative</a>, a discussion series from CEP and PACE</li><li><a href="https://www.philanthropy.com/article/philanthropy-needs-to-own-up-to-its-role-in-fueling-polarization">Philanthropy Needs to Own Up to its Role in Fueling Polarization</a>, Suzette Brooks Masters, The Chronicle of Philanthropy</li><li>Ted Johnson’s book <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/when-the-stars-begin-to-fall-overcoming-racism-and-renewing-the-promise-of-america/9780802157850">When the Stars Begin to Fall</a> and <a href="https://med
