ABOUT US
BridgeUSA is a multipartisan student movement that champions viewpoint diversity, responsible discourse, and a solution-oriented political culture. We are developing a generation of leaders that value empathy and constructive engagement because our generation will bear the cost of polarization and tribalism for years to come.
The purpose of BridgeUSA is to build a Bridge community—one in which students from across the ideological spectrum can engage as a group working together to understand—to bridge—the various perspectives behind the important political and social issues of our time.
WHY AT GEORGETOWN?
At Georgetown, we observed a particularly potent culture of polarization and political apathy, in which many students felt trapped in their echo chambers. Through BridgeUSA, we hope to create a space on Georgetown's campus where students can dialogue with, learn from, and grow alongside their peers with all different backgrounds, opinions, and beliefs.
