About Builders Movement
Builders is a non-partisan movement of millions, uniting Americans across lines of difference - grounded in the belief that curiosity, compassion, courage, and creativity can move us beyond division. Founded by Daniel Lubetzky, our community spans 5M+ citizens, 650M video views, and 400+ movement partners including José Andrés, Katie Couric, Adam Grant, Lonnie Ali, and Karl Rove.
