Repairing America’s Broken Democracy: Bridge Alliance Members Take Action – Annafi Wahed, Founder & CEO of The Flip Side

Annafi Wahed is the founder and CEO of The Flip Side. A bipartisan team of news junkies, The Flip Side curates the best op-eds and analyses from liberal and conservative media in a 5-minute digest each morning. The Flip Side is weeks away from launching a new platform for civic dialogue that uses human-centered design principles and a custom ranking algorithm to reward thoughtfulness and bipartisanship, rather than trolling or clickbait.
