Summary

As a student at UC Berkeley, Manu Meel realized he wasn't having deep discussions with peers of different beliefs. Manu started BridgeUSA to spur a national movement among young people to talk to each other. Today, there are 70 BridgeUSA chapters in colleges and high schools across the US. Andrew and Manu discuss the forces driving Americans apart, the danger of apathy, and why 5% is the magic number.
