Wisconsin group draws conservatives into unity efforts

Season 2025 Episode 281 | 8m 35s

As toxic polarization deepens, nonpartisan efforts to bridge divides have sprung up across the country, though they often attract more liberal-leaning participants. Judy Woodruff visited Walworth County, Wisconsin, to learn how one group has successfully engaged more conservatives. It’s part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
