How do we walk-the-talk of unity when it comes to dealing with divides in our own community? Do we have the courage to speak our truth and to deeply listen to the truth of others, not halfway around the world, but on the “other side” of a local issue we’re passionate about? What practical benefit is there in building bridges across political divides in a search for solutions that truly, authentically "work for all", left, right, center, insiders, outsiders? Come explore these and other challenging questions with leaders of the emerging transpartisan movement in American politics.

Transpartisan Alliance (TA) is a national organization whose mission is to motivate and inspire all people to use the principles of transpartisanship and improve the lives of all citizens. TA connects and empowers citizens to work in partnership, to transform politics and awaken the genuine spirit of government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Meeting facilitator Joseph McCormick has organized a series of ground breaking private retreats that brought national leaders representing over 70 million Americans into dialogue in search of common ground. His passion now is to apply the tools developed in these gatherings to catalyzing a national campaign of transpartisan house party, café, library and town hall meeting dialogues that serve as a resource for local, state and national decision makers searching for innovative, bottom-up solutions in this time of crisis.

TA seeks to make an impact by:

• facilitating a shift in the political culture – beginning at the smallest scale – from competition to cooperation in which every point of view is valued;
• amplifying the voice of the people for the general interest by providing them with the tools and means to bridge divides and collaborate;
• engaging the passion, brilliance and creativity of average citizens and leaders to deliver generative, innovative solutions as alternative ways to solve our most pressing challenges;
• reconnecting Americans to the sense of ownership inherent in responsible citizenship.
