This past year – marked by a divisive presidential election, campus protests, and ever-increasing levels of polarization – has put on full display the need for open-mindedness, viewpoint tolerance, and aptitudes for meaningful debate in American civic life. At Open to Debate, we have risen to this moment by continuing to provide a forum for real debate – and experienced growth and new milestones along the way.
This impact report is intended to offer an overview of highlights from 2024, and to lay the foundation for another impactful year in 2025. Thank you for your support, for being a part of our community, and for being Open to Debate.
