This program is the second in a series titled Bridging Political Divides: Exploring the Radical Middle

 

As our world faces rising political extremism, some citizens have focused on transcending left–right political divides. They advocate for evidence-based policies and solution-focused political discourse that seeks common ground. Through this lens of the “Radical Middle,” we can understand the current challenges facing our community and world, paving the way for more united and resilient societies.
