In this opinion piece, Greg Jayne recognizes the inherent challenges in bridging the political divide. At the same time, he calls attention to the Project for Civic Health for its efforts to delve into this topic, and highlights the importance of moving outside the sphere of those who are already civically involved to reach the disengaged.
Jayne also shines the spotlight on the critical role of local media and the increasing emphasis placed on strengthening civic education in schools – topics addressed during the Project for Civic Health Summit.
This article serves as a reminder for everyone interested in the Project that improving this difficult problem requires a broad swath of voices.
