Mike Murphy Talks About FixUS

FixUS, the democracy reform branch of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), engages fellow citizens to better understand and address our nation’s growing divisions, dysfunction, and distrust in our political system. FixUS conducts research projects, public engagement efforts and partnerships, to bring attention and visibility to our nation’s issues, build support for necessary changes, and ultimately help to regain a sense of shared aspirations, values, and a belief that there is more that unites us than divides us.

Mike Murphy, the Director of FixUS, describes FixUS and its objectives. He also talks about how our collective loss of trust in our government has polarized our nation to the point of threatening the foundations of our democracy.
