Today, America celebrates 250 years.
Our history has never been a straight line. It's been shaped by moments of extraordinary progress, painful setbacks, and generations of Americans wrestling with what this country can and should be.
Lincoln spoke these words at one of the nation's darkest moments because he believed our differences didn't have to define our future. Two and a half centuries into the American experiment, that challenge still belongs to us. The next chapter won't be written by people who always agree—it will be written by people willing to stay connected even when they don't.
This #ListenFirst Friday, we are bringing you a special message from America's Potluck.

Have you watched “Fire Pit” yet? This series brings together two people from very different backgrounds to gather around a fire together. Season one included opposites like a conservative influencer and a drag queen.
Happy Earth Day!
@United_ByNature – powered by @NINP_org – is rebranding conservation to make it fun, rewarding, and something every American feels called to be part of.
With their new online show "The Fire Pit," they're showing that Americans still care deeply about protecting our wild places, and the best way to spark real change is by meeting people where they already are: in culture, not politics.
The “Fire Pit” YouTube series brings together two people from very different backgrounds around one of humanity’s oldest rituals: gathering by a fire. Season one included opposites like a conservative influencer and a drag queen.
We’re excited to see a show that prioritizes surprising connections between folks who initially might think they don’t have very much in common. By the end, viewers are left with the sense that communing with nature creates connection, even between the most unlikely pairs. Who would you bring to your campfire?
