Finding Common Ground in America

With our country at a boiling point due to a polarized presidential election, a once-in-a-century pandemic, and nationwide protests and civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, the divisions in our society have never appeared deeper. Where do we go from here? How can we find a way to truly come together?

Authors Jordan Blashek and Christopher Haugh provide hope in their new book UNION: A Democrat, a Republican, and a Search for Common Ground. Two law school friends from opposite sides of the political spectrum, Blashek and Haugh traveled across the country, visiting 44 states and covering 20,000 miles to debate issues that are typically fueled by partisan rancor—from climate change, the environment, and the opioid crisis to criminal justice, law enforcement, faith, and the southern border. Their three-year exploration offers a roadmap to anyone seeking to understand the views that make up our country.
