The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy seeks to supplant ideology with fact.
The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy was established with the premise that the country has become disconnected from evidence. The project seeks to supplant ideology with fact, and reintroduce evidence into the national conversation, pointing to solutions beyond reflexive ideological claims. We explore the origins, aspirations, and impact as it bridges divides and cultivates unity.

- Things don't feel like they're working really well.
We're just constantly at each other's throats.
- Democracy doesn't work if the other side is always wrong.
