Young Politicians and a Red-Blue Rom-Com

If elections today are polarizing, there’s hope for the future, says Layla Zaidane, head of the Future Caucus and our next guest on The Commons in Conversation interview series. Millennials and Gen Zers coming to political power are more willing to collaborate and more likely to reach across political divides, Zaidane says.

Join us on LinkedIn on September 18 at 12:30 p.m. ET for a free event and hear Zaidane talk about some of the unlikely victories young leaders have already engineered and what’s still to come. Register.

Plus: Hollywood screenwriter Erik Bork comes to The Commons in Conversation on October 2, at 12:30 p.m. ET. Erik will talk about the bridging themes and philanthropy behind his soon-to-be-released The Elephant in the Room, a red-blue romantic comedy. Register.

Of the Moment

News and other noteworthy items:

  • The Polarization Research Lab — a joint project of Dartmouth, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford — is out with a tracker that points to elected officials who most inflame partisan tensions and those who focus on governing.
  • Kevin Loker, a senior director at the American Press Institute, explores how to reimagine opinion coverage in local news outlets to serve civic discourse and strengthen democracy. “Opinion sections are natural spots for convening; in fact, it’s what the section is for,” Loker writes in a new report. “Their structure, at its best, uplifts what different people care about and why.”
