Building Bridges for America is an active nationwide all-volunteer grassroots group that formed in March 2020. We were initially lead by volunteer leads from the Pete for America campaign who were determined to immediately continue to use our grassroots skills, networks, and passions to work for progressive candidates from the White House to Georgia and local communities across the country. There are no days off, we work every day to provide programs for volunteers to continue the hard work of progress.

We are so proud that in our first year our volunteers supported 20 local candidates, had 742 people sign up to write postcards and text bank for them, had 209 people sign up for our Heartland Movement hub, hosted 466 people in our incredible book club, and had 1232 sign ups for our weekly training courses. And we're just getting started!

what Drives us

our lenses

We strive to inform and engage ourselves in the work of delivering racial equity, bridging rural and urban communities, reforming our democracy, and creating a sense of belonging. 

Who we are

Started by former grassroot leaders from the Pete Buttigieg Presidential campaign, our goal is to mobilize and empower grassroots leaders through leadership development, education, resource sharing, and opportunities for activism. Everyone is welcome whether experienced or new to progressive politics and causes.
