Navigating America's Future
The Meridian Accord is a nonpartisan effort to rebuild common ground in a time of rapid change across technology, economics, culture, and democracy so the next chapter of America is stronger than the last.
Not left. Not right. Forward.

A Once-in-a-Generation Transition
The systems that carried America through the last 80 years — our economy, institutions, and global relationships — are under real strain. Supply chains are shifting. Trust in institutions is eroding. Technology is changing how we work, govern, and live faster than our rules can keep up.
At the same time, our culture feels more divided than at any point in modern memory. Many Americans sense that something fundamental is breaking, but we disagree on what to do about it, and too often, we stop listening to one another.
This is not a temporary disruption. It's a structural reset of how the world and the country work.
Change isn't coming. Change is here. The only chance we have for another great American Century is if we meet these challenges together.
Our Meridian
Like navigators of old used meridian lines to find their way, we provide a reference point for Americans seeking truth in a sea of information. This is not about left or right, it's about forward.
We believe that beneath the surface tensions, Americans share more common ground than we're led to believe. Our mission is to illuminate that shared terrain through research and thoughtful discussion, which will inform policies designed to strengthen America from within and prepare us all for a better tomorrow.
Our Accord
An accord is more than agreement. It is a living framework and a harmony of purpose. We seek to unite Americans around our shared aspirations: prosperity for all, security for our nation, and opportunity for future generations.
We're building consensus on the policies that will define America's next chapter. This accord isn't imposed from above, it emerges from the wisdom of citizens working together toward common goals. If America is entering a new era, then now is the time to write its rules.
