Unify America

Unify America creates interactive experiences to help people bust out of their bubbles, build civic muscles, and work together to tackle our country’s biggest challenges.

Our mission is to replace politics with problem solving. And it starts with having “bubble-busting” conversations.

OUR STORY

In 1993, Harry Nathan Gottlieb launched a pilot with a group of young reporters to use this new thing called the “World Wide Web” to launch a new kind of journalism: one focused on exploring multiple solutions to big civic problems. Given that the internet had only become available to the public a few months earlier, that initiative was, well, a little too early.

Harry went on to start two successful interactive communication companies: Jellyvision and Jackbox Games. But Harry’s dream of finding a way for Americans to directly participate in solving big problems, not by fighting each other, but by deliberating multiple solutions together never went away.

In the summer of 2019, in a deeply polarized country, Harry interviewed scores of Americans from all walks of life and discovered that we are far more united than we think. Energized by knowing that we share many of the same goals, Unify America was launched in January of 2020 to reduce contempt, teach Americans to work together and build a diverse community to find ambitious solutions and solve our biggest problems.
