Two Sides, One Story

Tune into VCN’s new series “Two Sides, One Story” where we take on the complicated and timely topic about what’s under the divisiveness in our country.

Over the next 6 weeks we are going to share insights from our study in a series of short content videos. Videos about how divided we really are (or not) and how new bridges can be built that transcend politics.

See the introductory video here and stay tuned! We will be posting 2 videos a week for the next 6 weeks.
