Who We Are:
The One America Movement is a national nonprofit confronting toxic polarization in our society. We equip faith communities to confront division and work together across political, racial, and religious divides to solve problems that matter.
Toxic polarization threatens our democracy and the fabric of American society. Toxic polarization divides families and communities, fuels violence, and makes progress on critical issues nearly impossible.
The United States needs a national movement to end toxic polarization and unite us across religious, racial, and political divides. Millions of Americans want a stronger, more united country.
More about the Science of Polarization
Our brains are wired for survival. When you first meet a person, your brain almost instantly judges them to determine if they are a threat. Are they a friend or foe—a part of your group—or an outsider? This fast-paced session will help you better understand the subtle inner workings of your brain and behavior that influence how you perceive and interact with others— and how they perceive and interact with you. We’ll cover how your mind works, how groups work, and how understanding the neuroscience and social science behind polarization can help you become more resilient to toxic forms of division.
