America: Don’t Be a Stranger 


By Mary Ellen Giess and Simran Jeet Singh

Interfaith America


"Something has gone wrong in how Americans see each other. It’s not that we disagree. It’s that we’ve stopped seeing each other as neighbors in the first place.

Americans’ trust in the federal government is at one of the lowest levels recorded in nearly seven decades. Sadly, trust in media, schools and the medical system has also noticeably declined over the last few years..”
