Community Event: 2023 Bridge-Building Innovation Showcase

5:30 PM 7:00 PM
Unity Temple on the Plaza 707 West 47th Street Kansas City, MO 64112

In today’s polarized climate, working across our differences to solve tough problems can sometimes feel hopeless. “The Bridge-Building Innovation Showcase” will feature 5 teams of Americans from around the country who have been selected by a panel of judges for doing just that: working across differences to tackle significant problems in their own communities, outside of their “day jobs”.

Organized by several leading bridge-building organizations, including American Public Square at Jewell, this event will feature community-based teams showcasing their own efforts, as well as opportunities to learn about each team’s initiatives, engage in discussions, and be inspired to address problems across divisions in your own community.

Doors open at 5:00pm for drinks and lite bites and the program will begin at 5:30pm. Limited tickets available- invite a friend and have them register today as well.

Featured Teams

Six groups that are problem-solving locally across generational, racial, religious, and political differences
