Fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and peaceful society
关于我们
Informed by lessons learned as the world's largest and oldest peacebuilding organization, Common Ground-USA (CG-USA) is a bold initiative of Search for Common Ground aimed to foster the conditions for a more inclusive, equitable, and peaceful society. Our work is rooted in the belief that we must strengthen collective resilience against political, hate-based, and extremist violence, and make sustained collaborations to mend the unaddressed historical grievances and inequalities that fuel division and polarization. Our strategy works around two broad pillars of engagement: -Building American Resilience to prevent immediate threats political violence, and -Fostering an Inclusive America to open the space for broader and deeper societal transformations

So proud of our inaugural cohort!
Incoming NBC News Digital Platforms Summer Intern | Current Freelance Writer for the Times Media Group | Spring 2025 Common Ground Journalism Cohort Member
I am thrilled to say that as of last week I have completed my Common Ground Journalism curriculum with Common Ground USA @Search for Common Ground! Over the last few weeks, my cohort members and I learned how to properly navigate conflict spaces and focus our reporting on the solutions and stories within. I want to extend an enormous thank you to Nicole Donelan for bringing me into the cohort, and to Maxine Rich and Hugo Balta for teaching us these valuable skills! I know for a fact that I am already using them in my journalism and will continue to do so as time goes on. Of course, my work with CGUSA isn’t quite done. Stay tuned for something else coming your way :) #commonground #commongroundusa #journalism #solutionsjournalism

In the face of political tension and misinformation, Pennsylvania communities are leading the way with local solutions. When 75 strangers sat down to share a meal, they proved that understanding starts with a conversation. These moments are the heart of peacebuilding. Emily, our team's Senior State Program Officer for Pennsylvania Resilient States, reminds us that local solutions and relationships are key to tackling polarization. Big thanks to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for sharing this powerful story! #CommonGround #LoveAnywayFeast https://lnkd.in/gtMT7ReA

Before engaging in a difficult conversation, take a moment to reflect: Am I prepared to listen as much as I speak? Truly meaningful discussions are built on curiosity, mutual respect, and a genuine desire to connect—not just the need to express your perspective. Remember, not every conversation needs to happen immediately—or at all. Prioritizing your emotional well-being, safety, and the potential for a productive exchange is key. It’s okay to step back and wait for the right time—or decide that the conversation isn’t necessary at all. #ConflictResolution #CommunicationSkills #CommonGround
