Should the government do more to help children? The bipartisan @ConvergenceCtr thinks so, reports @NPRCoryTurner @NPR. npr.org/2024/03/06/123…
ICYMI: FFYF's @SarahRittling joined @ConvergenceCtr to help experts across the political spectrum find solutions to help parents find and afford child care (including programs like CCDBG). Read about what they found (and more) in @usnews and below: usnews.com/opinion/articl…
Instead of accepting toxic polarization as the new normal, many community, faith, and civic leaders are fostering dialogue, defusing and addressing sources of conflict, and bridging divides. The Building Civic Bridges Act would lend some support to civic bridgebuilding efforts.
"Although we tend to blame politicians for this hyper partisanship, much of the polarization is actually of our own doing, as American society as a whole also becomes more fractious and more divided." Read more from @danschnur on our blog: allsides.com/blog/when-cong…
