Kara Revel Jarzynski is the Executive Director of Resolutionaries, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing Americans together through safe, facilitated conversation. With a broad background including education, public speaking, consulting, and corporate facilitation for Fortune 500 companies, Kara became interested in civic bridgebuilding after the 2016 election and the birth of her twins. Never had “talking less and listening more” felt more important. In 2022, Dennis Cohen, a lawyer and mediator with decades of experience bringing opposing parties to peaceful resolution, approached Kara with the idea of championing bridgebuilding on a national scale – through a bipartisan bill in Congress called The Building Civic Bridges Act (BCBA). Inspired by the possibility of fostering civility and respect in the national dialogue, Kara began, with the advent of the 118th Congress, to spearhead Resolutionaries. In the time since, Kara has elevated the organization to national distinction, creating key relationships in the public and private sector, with academic institutions, and national nonprofits; while also serving a key role in building a 150+ coalition of grass top organizations in support of the Building Civic Bridges Act. Kara co-Chairs the Bridging Movement Alignment Council's Sector Engagement Working Group; and serves on the Advisory Board of Business for America.
