“And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another”

The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman

#BlackLivesMatter

The horrific death of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that his death catalyzed have laid bare the legacy of deep, systemic racial injustice that we struggle to confront in America. The Bridgeway Group stands with communities of color and all those fighting racism and seeking justice and pledges to contribute to the enduring change that must result from George Floyd’s unnecessary and unjust death – and the deaths of too many other Black Americans before him.

15 Years and Counting...

In complex conflict situations, no single party can achieve the desired end state: individuals and organizations need to work together. Acknowledging this reality, we strive to work with parties across political, economic, ethnic, religious, and other boundaries to build durable results.
