“There is so much going on in the world today, it’s hard to keep up with it all,” Oliver wrote. “There’s an endless amount of content coming at us all the time, it can be overwhelming. We have to remember, we are all human. Regardless of our ‘differences,’ our similarities are far greater. I just want to continue to show that this is true through meaningful conversation and progressive dialogue. Real people, real stories. Hope you all will join me to Bridge The Gap!”
