Day 26 of our 30-day challenge exploring how to bridge our divides.

For the past few weeks, we’ve featured deep, thoughtful answers to big questions from the Bridging Movement Summit — the real questions people across the country are wrestling with.

Today, we’re mixing it up. ⚡️🎧

We invited Lisa Swallow — co-founder of Crossing Party Lines and author of Yes, You CAN Talk Politics — to give us Rapid-Fire Answers to a handful of those pressing questions, including:

* What systems are primarily causing division, and what can realistically be done to change those systems in the next few years? What’s priority one or two for you?

* What should be the limit of civic goodwill — and who gets to decide that?

* The panel seems to ask for non–zero-sum engagement — but how can that work with people who only want zero-sum outcomes?

* People tend to bond over shared dislike or hatred. How can we harness this bonding energy without it becoming destructive?
