Could green bridge the gap between red and blue?
A Philadelphia Inquirer article in the fall of 2004 asked the question “Could green bridge the gap between red and blue?” This led the founders of Greenbridge, RuthAnn Purchase and Dan Kleiman, to make a permanent commitment to diversity.
“In order to maintain our ability to work well with a wide variety of people and organizations we have veered away from religious, ethnic or political affiliations,” explains RuthAnn Purchase, “because we now understand a safe, healthy place to live and work IS our common ground.”
