Connective Tissue: The Framework

Reimagining the role of policy in regenerating and strengthening connection within American communities.

The Need

The decline and sorting of our civic life has left today’s Americans less connected to one another and their communities than at any point in the last century.

The Gap

Regenerating connection within communities will demand civic, cultural, and institutional change.

But this is an emergent area of policymaking, and government leaders often don’t know where to begin.

The Opportunity

We believe policy can and should play a role in strengthening connection.

So we created this framework to provide government leaders with an organized, actionable starting point for connection-focused policymaking.
