Today: UNDIVIDE US Film Screening (Oct. 3rd)

A special screening of UNDIVIDE US will be held on October 3rd at 5:30 PM at Septima Clark Auditorium (ECTR 118). Ben Klutsey, Executive Director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University will lead a Q&A.

UNDIVIDE US stands as a beacon of hope and a call to action as America is at a crossroads where politicians, news media, and social media fan the flames of toxic partisanship that have led many Americans to question whether they can trust their fellow citizens.

As news and social media amplify a narrative of an America on the brink of civil war, politicians in Washington, DC stir conflict: red against blue, rich against poor, urban against rural, race against race, and man against woman. They cast us as enemies locked in battle, usurping power and posing as our saviors.

UNDIVIDE US challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well.

It exposes the power players in Washington DC as the true disruptors of peace, driving our legitimate differences to the brink of disaster. Hear from experts about the roots of this toxic polarization and learn how to counteract it in our local communities and lives.

The event is sponsored by the Center for Public Choice & Market Process, the Civility Initiative, and The Bastiat Society of Charleston.
