Join Michigan Community Scholars Program to examine the prevailing narrative of political polarization and an America “more divided than it has ever been before.” As news and social media amplify a narrative of an America on the brink of civil war, politicians in Washington, DC stir conflict: red against blue, rich against poor, urban against rural, race against race, and man against woman. They cast us as enemies locked in battle, usurping power and posing as our saviors.

UNDIVIDE US challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well. Come learn how ordinary and courageous people develop skills and commitment to bridge differences of politics and identity.
