The CATA Project is a carefully crafted grassroots initiative designed to bridge our divisions and help our neighbors rediscover our common interests and values through structured, well-informed dialog.
Our Mission: To strengthen communities by facilitating workshops that build capacity and appreciation for different opinions and values.
CATA is an organization which seeks to bring together perspectives from the full spectrum of political and ideological positions. We create space where we can engage, exchange ideas, and learn from each other--even as we build our participants' comfort and skill in navigating discussions about the issues of the day with people who think differently.
The CATA Project launched its first dinner workshop in September of 2023 and has hosted multiple productive, respectful conversations that transcend Red versus Blue, and helps our community rediscover the value of connecting across political party lines. We come together with varied backgrounds, understandings and goals and discuss topics that are pertinent to today’s political challenges.
We held five such workshops in our first 18 months including the following discussions topics:
At Conversations Across The Aisle, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.
Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.
CATA is founded and led by Bill Woodson. Bill and the CATA team can be reached at info@cataproject.org
