The 2020 Presidential Election is one week away and with that in mind, today we're speaking to Kareem Abdelsadek on the founding of Crossing Party Lines, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing people with opposing beliefs togethers to connect and share their values in a safe space. Our country needs this now more than ever to heal the division that has seeped through the last 4 years of the Trump presidency. 

Kareem's story and drive is so inspiring and I hope our conversation inspires you to get out of your comfort zones, your echo chambers and connect with different people in a human way.
