Political & Advocacy
The United States’ political climate needs drastic change. Politics has been rendered easy and dualistic, making blind-partisanship not only permissible, but the principal mode of political practice. It has become acceptable to immerse oneself in echo-chambers of like-mindedness, to label and blindly dismiss ideological opposites, and to violently rebuke instead of constructively disagreeing. There is no productive way forward so long as this persists.
BridgeUSA wants to move the conversation forward, by allowing it to happen in the home of academic progress and innovation; the college campus. If we wish to create a better national sphere of politics, we need to start by creating better collegiate political spheres open to BridgeUSA’s guiding principles of responsible discourse, true diversity of ideas, and the creation of listening spaces. Our chapter will be at the forefront of this movement to fix national governance, by starting in the spaces where they learn, live, and grow into tomorrow’s leaders.
We are recruiting for the fall semester and are excited to meet you! Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
