We believe that embracing a fuller understanding of “us” is not only a challenge but also an opportunity. And that it is in our own best interest to do so. @AshleyQuarcoo & @carolinehopper share why:

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."
Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
Listen as @AspenCitizen's @carolinehopper & @AshleyQuarcoo talk on
@1a about about “Who Is Us?", a research project centering on the idea that severe fragmentation of American society is a direct threat to our democracy. https://t.co/bF7fGVS4m6
What we believe about who we are as a nation — our values and our common story — matters. More than ever, we need healthy and constructive ways to examine what it means to be American. We can no longer avoid addressing these questions directly. https://t.co/eR4GRnzuKl
In this moment of profound division in American society, there’s hope in this @NPR@1a interview with my colleagues @AshleyQuarcoo and @carolinehopper about their new @AspenCitizen initiative: "Who Is Us?” Take a listen. https://t.co/Ps3TPGSc2X
My @AspenCitizen teammates @carolinehopper & @AshleyQuarcoo had a great interview on NPR's @1A to talk about "Who Is Us," our new project exploring the meaning of American identity in this time of discord and demographic change. Listen now: https://t.co/iwYMKYUgRp
"The priority is to walk away from that interaction caring more about that other person than about whether or not you won that argument -- be human first." says @carolinehopper in convo w/ @cnn about @aspencitizen's Better Arguments Project. https://t.co/g7Sksn3ovt #arguebetter
Great interview with my @AspenInstitute colleague, @carolinehopper. She lays out the principles of having "better arguments" and discusses the work of @AspenCitizen—both critical in our collective quest to create a more free, just, and equitable society. https://t.co/k74DJztW9F
How can we unify as Americans? “What we believe about who we are as a nation — our values and our common story — matters.” @AspenCitizen’s @ashleyquarcoo and @carolinehopper discuss their upcoming journey to explore America’s identity. https://t.co/9YZgDQ1Aej
An election won't fix our polarization. And voting alone shouldn't absolve us of our responsibility to confront this. @AshleyQuarcoo and I discuss what could be next to reckon and reconcile as part of a research project with @AspenCitizen & @DemocracyFund https://t.co/8AUMH4dk6R
"If we are declining to engage, we are conceding our discourse to the voices that are most polarizing and most powerful," says @carolinehopper. Instead, we have to #ArgueBetter. https://t.co/RJwOc86rG7
