About Us
BridgeUSA is a multi-partisan 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 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.
We rise above party. We do not force unity or compromise. We believe in the Bridge Mindset: viewpoint diversity, constructive engagement, and a solution-oriented political culture.
Our generation will bear the cost of polarization and tribalism for years to come- it’s our job to build spaces across the country where young people can have difficult conversations about the important issues of our time. If you care about protecting ideological diversity, championing constructive solutions, and putting country over party, BridgeUSA needs you. Check us out and start a chapter on your campus today- let’s change our politics for the better!
Our Mission
We believe that polarization is damaging our country and causing young people to either disengage from democracy or radically engage by fitting a partisan mold. Democracy is in danger if the next generation is apathetic and polarized because young people are the future of our country.
