19. Can't We All Just Get Along?
What do a 22-year-old former venture capital intern and an 11-time Emmy-nominated filmmaker have in common? Political entrepreneurship. Manu Meel, CEO of BridgeUSA, and Mark Kassan, co-founder of A Starting Point (ASP), alongside actor Chris Evans, share how their organizations dedicate themselves to creating spaces and platforms to foster civic engagement and meaningful conversations across the political divide. BridgeUSA works with college campuses across the country to combat pessimistic political thinking by creating spaces to help students engage and connect while ASP is disrupting media by providing unbiased content about important political issues that allow users to form their own educated opinions. The bipartisan consumable content ASP curates helps to act as a launching pad for the conversations being had within BridgeUSA chapters throughout the country. By joining forces, these two organizations are investing in a future where democracy responds to the people and not just for the people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
