CCD's mission is to bridge differences among an increasingly divided and angry American public, and thereby preventing the breakdown of our democracy. To develop a practical plan for achieving that goal, CCD has done extensive research on political adversaries outside government who have reached agreements that advanced the long-term interests of all sides. We are launching a project designed to generate equivalent results on national scale. We expect the project to result in overwhelming public support for a combination of widely beneficial, cost-effective solutions for declining social and economic mobility, inadequate schools, unsustainably rising national debt and climate change.
