Will the center hold? It’s an important question that troublingly has no clear answer. At a time when voices on the far left and far right dominate American politics and drive division across the country, most of us in the commonsense majority are desperate for a reasonable middle way that finds areas of agreement and moves the country forward as one. 

The great American middle needs a strong voice to uphold the values of our democracy. Thankfully, numerous insightful individuals are dedicated to this cause. Next week, we are privileged to welcome one of these thought leaders to No Labels Talks. On Wednesday, July 10 at 3 PM via Zoom, please join us for an exclusive conversation with John Halpin, president and executive editor of The Liberal Patriot. 

In a recent piece, Halpin explores the essence and importance of centrism as a keystone of our political system. He argues that centrism is not a rigid ideology but a pragmatic approach to governance, seeking balance and practical solutions in a complex society with diverse values like the United States. Halpin's insights are crucial for understanding how a strong movement of centrism can effectively address the challenges facing our divided democracy today.
