The Big Tent is Working

Summary

Horizons Project founder Julia Roig answers a critique that America’s pro-democracy ‘big tent’ is failing. Hers is closer to “a music festival of many tents”: networks of unions, faiths, businesses, veterans and artists – the pillars authoritarian power leans on – acting together while speaking to their own people. Which means “collaboration without conformity”, and patience: “Relational infrastructure takes time to grow”.

Rationale

Her many tents fit how we think one disposition can be expressed: through many different stories, tailored to different people, not a single one. We interviewed Julia for Getting Deep.
