More in Common is a London-based nonprofit formed in the wake of the 2016 assassination of British MP Jo Cox, with a mission to understand what drives people apart, identify common ground, and support efforts to tackle shared challenges. It conducts large-scale opinion research on social fragmentation and polarization, applying political science and social psychology to map the identities and values of populations, and uses this evidence base to work across sectors with more than 200 partners to bridge divides. The organization emphasizes collaboration across philanthropy, civil society, politics, media, unions, faith groups, and businesses to deliver initiatives that address societal splits. Founded to address political and social fracture, it operates with a mid-sized team and maintains national offices in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Poland, Spain, and Brazil. A notable recent development is the October 2020 launch of Democracy for President, an initiative to bolster confidence in the integrity of the 2020 election.
