America is suffering a toxic polarization of identity –socially, economically and politically.
So, let’s talk.
Let’s get together and air our differences. Let’s look at all sides. Let’s debate the issues to come to a resolution; not just to win. And, let’s do it under the lens of We the People – or face the consequence of a country divided and a democracy eroded.
NorCal Public Broadcasting is planning on doing just that – in the form of a public television series that blends cinematic storytelling, documentary segments and a richly moderated panel discussion, all designed to engage and inspire.
This is not a traditional panel show – it is a televised civic experience. To join us in healing America, see the Zeffy button below.
If you can’t make the broadcast in person,
Below are three more ways to stream the broadcast.

The rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness . . . to Hitler and his followers were empty words which they proposed to cancel forever. This attempted revival of barbarism; this proposed tyranny is an attempt which could succeed only if those who have inherited the gift of liberty had lost the manhood to preserve it.

Through the unique activism that artistic media, broadcast, academic forums and musical events and their expression represents.
Ours is a country whose culture suffers a toxic polarization of identity requiring a compassionate resolution to strengthen our democracy — we are committed to that effort by embracing diversity, equity and inclusion, principles upon which our country was founded.
VISION
Turning back the tide eroding America’s democratic values and the culture of freedom, fairness and opportunity by inspiring the mobilization of a broad spectrum of demographics in our fight against totalitarianism in America.
WHO WE ARE
Audacity Rising is a multidisciplinary nonprofit focused on developing three major activity centers to preserve, promote and celebrate America’s most revered principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. These activity centers will take the form of podcasts, panel discussions and fund raising musical events.
