While a healthy, civil debate among those with differing viewpoints is an essential component of our democracy, the current partisan tone in government is impeding progress. Through the Democracy Project and events like Bridge-Builder Breakfasts, political summits and timely policy discussions, BPC is fostering an ongoing conversation about how to overcome political divides and help make our government work better.","numberOfEmployees":208,"address":[{"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Washington, DC, USA"}},{"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Washington, DC, USA"}}],"sameAs":"https://bipartisanpolicy.org","url":"https://bipartisanpolicy.org","logo":"https://cdn.getro.com/companies/742ec33c-7337-5d51-880a-88a5c7f4a954","memberOf":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Democracy Jobs","description":"","logo":"https://cdn.filepicker.io/api/file/8NtkRH4tRFeyE1OphqMw","url":"www.democracyjobs.org"},"keywords":"Community and Lifestyle, Government and Military"}}\n
