Trust is the glue that holds
our society together
The Civil Discourse Project is dedicated to tackling the forces that are dissolving that glue.
Every 80 years or so, America faces an existential crisis.
Americans are more divided now than at any time since before the Civil War.
Only 1-in-5 Trump and Biden supporters say they share the same core American values and goals
40 percent of each party considers the other to be “downright evil”
A third of all Americans now believe that the rise in divisive rhetoric will lead to political violence
The Civil Discourse Project shines a light on divisive rhetoric
We cannot address the problem without first being able to measure it…
…yet no one else is currently doing it.
Our non-partisan candidate rating system flags divisive language and generates a civility rating.
“
From the beginning the big challenge of America has been to hold ourselves together as one people. The Constitution was written in order to contain within one country all the different interests.”

I think what's really at stake is our trust in each other and our trust in
America to be a resilient, dynamic country where every voice is heard and counted, and we're governed and led in a way that Americans are proud of.”
