Civil Discourse, Trust, and Resilience: The Bedrock of Michigan’s Civic and Economic Infrastructure

We are joined by Tonya Schuitmaker and Rebekah Warren of Michiganders for Civic Resilience, an organization dedicated to bridging divides and restoring civil discourse. Their conversation reveals why civic resilience is more than a discourse issue, it is an economic development issue. 

Tonya and Rebekah talk about the connection between strong communities and strong economies, and how where businesses invest – communities can prosper. From attracting talent and investment to building infrastructure, advancing innovation, and solving Michigan's biggest challenges, our ability to collaborate may be one of our greatest competitive advantages.
