Building Bridges: The Road to Compromise

One of the most pressing issues of modern American politics is the increasing political divisions which have intensified over the last 50 years. While our elected leaders demonstrate an unwillingness to compromise, JSA delegates come together, across ideological differences, to discuss a variety of issues facing our nation and the world.

At Fall State, debate resolutions will investigate factions of society — from political parties to rural constituencies to activist movements — and aim to inspire empathy and understanding. By bringing together large groups of students with diverse opinions and perspectives, JSA young people learn how to approach problems with open-mindedness and practical solutions.
