Three Steps We Can All Take to Create a More Civil Society It’s a bitter joke: the only thing Americans seem able to agree on is that we’re deeply divided. But while the second half of that one-liner is both empirically and experientially true, the first half is decidedly not. As Americans—and as moral actors—we have some common dreams for the country we live in, and some shared vision of what living in a good society must be like. Finding the things that will bring us together seems like an impossible task right now, but the Civil Society Fellowship, a partnership of ADL and the Aspen Institute, is offering a starting point. The Fellowship recently held a town hall for fellows and guests from all around the nation, with the goal of helping America become a place that lives up to its ideals.
