Interfaith America's mission is to inspire, equip, and connect leaders and institutions to unlock the potential of America’s religious diversity. BridgeUSA, a youth-led nonprofit, creates spaces on high school and college campuses for open discussion between students about political issues.
Patel's most recent book, "We Need To Build: Fieldnotes For Diverse Democracy" has been described as an "essential handbook" for activists ready to move from resistance to rebuilding a world of justice.

Manu Meel is passionate about empowering young people to bridge divides. Named one of Forbes 30 under 30, Manu believes that polarization is the biggest threat to American democracy. As CEO of BridgeUSA, Manu is leading the largest and fastest-growing student movement to bridge our differences and change how we talk about politics.
