Bridge-building in an era of polarization

Building Bridges

At a time when the world – and the country, especially – is so polarized, many are looking for leaders that can build bridges and cross the divide. EJUSA has been building these bridges for over 20 years, among law enforcement, crime survivors, Evangelicals, conservatives, and more.

This month’s Harper’s Magazine takes an in-depth look at some of that work, sharing the story of EJUSA’s project, Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty. In profiling several staff and highlighting our values of finding and forging common ground, the story gives hope that we can make progress when we build relationships and work together on the issues we care about.

Please take a moment to read about EJUSA’s bridge-building work, and then share it with everyone you know who could use a hopeful example of breaking through polarization.

EJUSA will continue to build bridges as we work to transform the justice system from one that harms to one that heals. Thank you for being there with us.
