About
Nonpartisan civic connection
Disagreement does not have to divide a community.
Better Together USA is a nonpartisan nonprofit welcoming every American to understand themselves so they can understand their neighbors, challenge stereotypes, learn how civic life works, serve side by side and think critically. We create practical ways for neighbors, businesses and community organizations to strengthen the places they share.
Three program areas
Think clearly. Understand civics. Work together.
Our programs build from personal judgment to civic understanding to shared action. Each offers an accessible place to begin.
01 · Develop judgment
Leadership Development and Critical Thinking
Leadership begins before a title. Participants practice examining evidence, recognizing manipulation, managing disagreement and communicating without demanding conformity.
The Strategists Society provides a focused path for people who want to study influence, strategy, media literacy and ethical leadership more deeply.
02 · Understand civic life
Civic Education
People are often told to get involved without being shown who makes a decision, where reliable public information lives or what meaningful participation looks like.
Our nonpartisan approach helps participants understand institutions, evaluate public information and find practical ways to participate while keeping ownership of their own conclusions.
03 · Build together
Community Engagement
Conversation, service and local partnership give people practical reasons to encounter one another as neighbors rather than political labels. Wherever Better Together USA gathers, every side is welcome, everyone is heard and no one is asked to give up what they believe.
Counterparts pairs two people with different perspectives to work through an issue together and build one solution side by side.
Neighbor Tables seat up to six neighbors and one moderator around one question, with no debate and nothing to prepare.
The American Conversation is a quarterly gathering where a moderator and two guests with opposing views take on one question shaping American life.
Show Up & Show Out puts people to work side by side through volunteering, service projects and community tables.
