This list of resources is meant to give Resilience+ members a collection of ideas, tools, and organizations that can help them better understand and respond to political polarization. With this list, we focused on a handful in each category we thought might be most beneficial, with an admitted focus on English-speaking and Global North-oriented resources. Thanks to Nichole Argo, Trisha Dehrone, and Brooke Burrows for helping to prepare this list.
