This image provided by Michael Weintrob shows the TN11, a group of citizens brought together by Citizen Solutions to discuss potential gun rights changes, stands outside the state capital in Nashville on Jan. 9, 2024. Lonnie Ali presents the 2023 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Civility and Compassion Award to Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND Snacks, during the tenth annual Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards Nov. 4, 2023, at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Ky.
“The reason why I came to the table was that I’m so tired of the idea that we can’t do anything, that there’s no way forward… that the citizens of America are incapable of being able to communicate with one another,” Luke said. “That’s what I wanted to be hostile against.” “The problem is the way social media and cable news are turning everything into ‘us versus them’ situations,” said Lubetzky, founder of Kind Snacks and recurring shark on ABC’s “Shark Tank.” “Builders will counteract that by providing people help on how to strengthen their thinking, how to process information, and how they can actually solve problems rather than create animosity.”
Identifying and mobilizing those shared values became central to the creation of Citizen Solutions, which Lubetzky had previously supported for two decades with his Starts With Us nonprofit. The Tennessee program on gun legislation was the pilot project for the group and it has expanded into Wisconsin, where it is currently working on finding common ground in the abortion debate.
That idea fits with what his nonprofit BlueCheck Ukraine has been doing, informing potential donors about Ukrainian nonprofits’ work as well as bringing to light wartime conditions, especially for children.
