Who we are:

Builders Network is on a mission to equip a majority of Americans to overcome toxic polarization and effectively solve our toughest problems.

In addition to more than 3.2 million followers committed to constructively engaging across lines of difference and solving problems in their own lives and communities, Builders is supported by 260+ ideologically diverse leaders across a variety of industries — from business, entertainment, and sports to faith, academia, and national defense.
