“We need leaders across society who actually can see there is a hopeful way through,” Dixon says. “You can transcend the divisions. You don’t have to pick a side. You need to define a different common-ground approach. You need to have courage in doing that.” #TheCommons The Chronicle of Philanthropy https://lnkd.in/eFvKdxGA
More in Common
Non-profit Organizations
An international initiative, set up to build communities and societies that are stronger, more united and more resilient
About us
More in Common is a new international initiative, set up in 2017 to build communities and societies that are stronger, more united and more resilient to the increasing threats of polarisation and social division. We have national teams in the US, Germany, UK, France, Poland and Spain. We believe that social fracturing is one of the most pressing issues of our time. And that new approaches are needed if we are to build communities that have more in common than that which divides them. Over the next two years, in partnership with others, we will conduct research and pilot different approaches to learn what works. So that we are ready to scale and make a real difference in the countries in which we work from 2020. We are building the founding team to make this happen. Although we are only at the beginning of our journey as an organization, we know one thing for certain: our team will be our greatest asset. We are looking for people who are • Strategic, rigorous, restless, energetic and creative • Comfortable and excited to dwell on the edge but not on the margins • Excited to do work that is non-partisan • Able to think ahead • Able to get big stuff done • Excited to work with heart as well as head • Want to be part of turning despair into hope While we are only getting started, we have already set up national hubs in the UK, US, France and Germany and have published early findings from our first stages of work.

Violence has no place in our politics. Full stop. We are grateful former President Trump is safe and our hearts go out to our fellow Americans who were victims of this attack. As an organization dedicated to promoting unity in our country and founded in the wake of a tragic political assassination, we condemn wholeheartedly all acts of political violence.

What a treat to reconnect with colleagues from the US, UK, Poland, Germany, France, Brazil and Spain at the annual More in Common retreat a few days ago in Gdansk and the magical Masurian countryside of Poland. We laughed, we cried, we made pierogis together, we played family feud and ping pong, we grilled sausages on a roaring fire and we saw a magic show by our own in-house Houdini. (We did a little work too.) We even got to meet Lech Wałęsa! Sadly, snap elections in the UK and France meant we were without wonderful colleagues from More in Common UK and Destin Commun as they were busy fighting the good fight. Doing this work is an honor. Doing it with this group of people is a real privilege. Onwards!

"More in Common’s recent report reminds us of the essential part that civic role models play in American society. For our shared experiment in self-government to work, we need citizens who set the example for their fellow Americans — especially for young people. In a self-governing republic, citizens are meant to model what it means to live a good life for each other." TheFulcrum.US https://lnkd.in/er7EmNSf
This election season, America needs civic role models

Meet Whitby Woman. "About 15% of voters are still undecided, according to the research consultancy More in Common. This is not unusual a month before a general election – but what makes it different is the significant proportion who backed the Conservatives in 2019, said the organisation’s UK director, Luke Tryl. What is even more interesting is the profile of these undecided voters: more likely to be women, owning their own home in towns and suburbs, with an average age of 61, less likely to have a degree, more likely to have voted for Brexit." https://lnkd.in/ehHzh7wR

Nine years ago today, Jo Cox made her maiden speech in Parliament as MP for Batley and Spen. From 21-23 June, over what would have been Jo’s 50th birthday, Great Get Together Together events around the UK will celebrate her message: "We have more in common than that which divides us."💜 The need to celebrate unity and reject division is as relevant now as it was when the first Great Get Together took place in 2017.

I'm leaving São Paulo after a great week as we prepare to launch More in Common Brazil this year. What an absolute privilege to work with so many outstanding, committed Brazilian partners. There's so much energy in this country even as it faces significant challenges - not least the devastating floods in the south of the country which left 400,000 homeless. Até breve Brasil. 🇧🇷 with Stephen Hawkins and Tim Dixon.
