QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“The problem in today's America is that our political polarization leads us to believe that the opposing party will destroy our way of life and exclude us from the conversation about who matters in this country. These divisive debates are not passing; they are now defining who we are. We must work purposefully and proactively to redefine American identity and cultivate our unity if we are to live together in peace.”
– Wendy Feliz, founding director of the Center for Inclusion and Belonging at the American Immigration Council and Justin Gest, associate professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government
