The past is but a springboard for the future – at least for Common Ground with Jane Whitney. In an era whose drumbeat is a barrage of polarized verbal assaults, this forum spotlights how the series builds bridges across our political chasms and finds common ground on the critical issues that affect Americans’ daily lives.

 

Whether it is the threat to our democracy, the Supreme Court’s politicization, the vitriol that characterizes social media, the scourge of racism or the doomsday threat of climate change, this episode features moments from last season showing how our panelists found ways to talk to each other, share their insights, fears and feelings and how all of us can come together to make progress on the country’s most debilitating problems.
