Welcome to More in Common

We seek to understand the forces driving us apart, find common ground, and help bring Americans together to tackle our shared challenges.

We develop evidence-based solutions to disrupt the dynamics of polarization.

We work with leaders across America to bring these solutions to life.

Research

We see the world through a people-centered lens: an approach that builds on insights in social psychology and behavioral science to study not just what Americans think, but why. We have engaged more than sixty thousand Americans in surveys, conversations, focus groups and one-on-one interviews.

In a time when all we hear about is what divides us, we help build stories of ‘a bigger us.’
