The Great Divide: Our Crisis of Trust


Social trust isn’t just a warm, fuzzy idea. If we don’t have it, democracy grinds to a halt. People feel unmoored. Mental illness, suicide, violence and loneliness increase. Neighbors don’t know or rely on each other. Join Weave: The Social Fabric Project and the Gen Next Foundation to discuss why trust is disappearing in our nation, particularly across generations, and what we can do to weave together a nation that is tearing apart at the seams.
