What unites us is much more important than what divides us!

Take the Challenge

Apply to join us this season on a RAFT for America Experience, where you'll be paired up with somebody from "outside your bubble." Enjoy a river adventure that helps reaffirm the idea that as Americans, we are all in the same boat together and that we always do better by pulling together than by pulling apart.

Get in touch with our common values!

Studies show that we often believe our differences to be deeper than they actually are. By sharing experiences with those who see things differently, we're able to make connections and discover common ideas and values that help us to listen first, disagree better, and collaborate across our differences to help solve challenging issues.

Learning To Disagree Better

It's a fact: As a country, there's not a single issue that we're all going to agree on. But democracy isn't about agreeing. It's about
learning to manage our differences by Listening First and by Disagreeing Better.


Let's make 2024 the year that we all get behind the National Governors Association's call to Disagree Better. It's the one thing we can
all do to help really hear one another, and manage our inevitable differences. Help build the movement by joining us on a river this year, as part of the nationwide R.A.F.T. for America Challenge.

This isn’t about politics!

It’s about demonstrating to ourselves, to our fellow Americans, and to the world, that our politics don’t define us, and that when we Listen First and Disagree Better, we really can accomplish great things together.  We want the world to see that America remains resilient, buoyed by the many millions of us who understand that we always do better by pulling together, than by pulling apart.
