About Organization
Building Bipartisan Bonds organizes structured conversations that bring together individuals across the political spectrum in small-group settings. Based in Denver, CO, the organization creates carefully designed dialogue sessions where participants explore differing viewpoints without the goal of changing minds, but rather to understand why people hold their beliefs. Through these community-based discussions, the organization works to reduce political polarization and promote civil discourse.
What They Focus On
Empathy Development
Helping participants understand the reasoning and values behind beliefs different from their own without pressure to change positions
Civil Discourse
Strengthening community health by promoting disagreement without hostility and supporting the productive exchange of diverse ideas
